John Botz was California painter and printmaker grew up in Long Island, New York, and first attended the University of Pennsylvania. He subsequently studied in Paris where he was influenced by the works of Henri Matisse and Raoul Dufy. On his return to the United States, Botz worked as a fabric designer for Brunschwig and Fils while continuing his painting studies. An avid artist since childhood, Botz held his first one-man show at the age of forty-five at the Pantechnicon in San Francisco (1971) where thirty-two of his thirty-four exhibited works sold on the opening day. This success, together with other encouraging exhibitions, led him to take up painting and graphic art full-time. Botz moved to Los Angeles, where, over the course of a long career, he exhibited widely and with success. He also opened and managed the John Botz Gallery which overlooked the ocean on the North Coast Highway and was, for many years, a fixture of the Laguna Beach artist community of which he became a leading member. 8 yards See less
