What is Plein Air? Plein Air refers to a style of painting that became popular in the mid-19th century and was advocated by the French zimpressionists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Plein Air painting is done outdoors in one sitting and the subject is the scene before the artist. The invention of tube paint and the box easel that carries paints and brushes and folds to be easily transported, led to the popularity of this art form.

Why in Carmel? Frank Hubbard Powers, a San Francisco attorney and his wife Jane Gallatin Powers, an artist, were founders of Carmel. By 1901 they had bought up more than three fourths of what is now Carmel-bythe-Sea. She was the first Plein Air painter here, as well as a studio painter, and she was a strong advocate for the arts. Jane and Frank convinced many of their artist friends left homeless by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to move to Carmel. By 1910 the San Francisco Call reported that 60% of Carmel’s houses were built by citizens who were devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts. We are proud to have one of Jane Powers great-grandchildren as a frequent participant in our Plein Air competition.
