Orpha Klinker
Orpha Mae Klinker (1891–1964) was an American artist well known for her California ''plein air'' landscape paintings and etchings as well as her portraiture and early California historic sites. She was also an active illustrator and graphic designer. Klinker was recognized for her series of historical and pioneer paintings. She painted a series of portraits of notable Californians and memorialized many historic early California structures on canvas. On October 14, 1963, she was awarded a resolution by the City Council of Los Angeles, recognizing her outstanding professional skill and appreciation for the many honors she has brought to the city. The commendatory scroll praised Klinker for her role as an oil painter and mentioned many of her portrait subjects such as General John C. Frémont, Andrés Pico, José Antonio Carrillo and Dr. Joseph P. Widney.〔Wilshire Press, October 17, 1963|page15〕
==Early life and education==
Orpha Klinker was born in Fairfield, Iowa on November 20, 1891, the firstborn of five children of Lewis William (L.W.) Klinker and Lydia Jane Raver. Her given name is a modification of the Biblical name Orpah. The family moved to California when she was a child, first to Chico, and later to Los Angeles.〔
Klinker attended school in Los Angeles at Polytechnic High School, and later studied under noted California ''plein air'' painter mentors Anna Hills and Paul Lauritz. She traveled to Europe with fellow artist Crystal Wood Stephen to do further art studies at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi, both in Paris, France.〔
