Lee Fritz Randolph (1880-1956)

Born in Ravenna, OH on June 3, 1880, Randolph studied at the Stevenson Art School in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Art Academy under Duveneck and Noble, and the ASL in NYC under Cox and Bridgman.  He then spent four years studying in Rome and six years in Paris at Academie Julian under Laurens and Ecole des Beaux Arts under Bonnat and Merson. 

Randolph relocated to California in 1913 where he stayed briefly in the Monterey area before settling in San Francisco.  He became a memeber of the Bohemian Club and the California Society of Etchers.  In the winter of 1915, he taught at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 1917 he began a twenty-five year position as director of the California School of Fine Arts.  In 1915 he received a bronze medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.  He exhibited at the Del Monte Art Gallery (1916), the Oakland Art Gallery (1916), the Paris Salon (1935), and the San Francisco Art Association (1916).  He spent most of his later years in the Carmel area where he was an active member of the Carmel Art Association.  He died in Salinas, California in 1956.
