I have an original, very early oil painting by Stan Galli, I am seeking to sell it and would prefer it go back to his family but am wanting any outlets if you know of any. I could send you photographs if you send me an email to : jdrivis@myfairpoint.netDYLANESQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358181396578536644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-64378697637434236862014-03-14T20:44:12.669-04:002014-03-14T20:44:12.669-04:00I just ran across among my family archives one of ...I just ran across among my family archives one of the Weyerhauser booklets that my dad, who worked with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, gave me in the late fifties. Seeing those crisp, clean Stan Galli nature prints again brought back fond memories of my childhood. I could almost smell the sharpness of the pine and feel the cool dampness of the forest mornings. Excellent artists like Galli inform how we see nature. On my many hikes in the California Sierras, I sometimes feel I am seeing the animals and landscape through his eyes. Thanks for the memories of your precise vision of nature, Stan.

I also grew up in the 40s and 50s in Kentfield, went to the same school as Tom and Tim, and was friends with others in his neighborhood. I also visited the Galli home a few times with my parents. I remember that it was modern, with a patio of washed pebbles in cement. That they had the Audubon portfolio on their coffee table. That Stan, knowing I was interested in art, kindly showed me his studio and his filing cabinets full of the graphic material his son wrote of him pulling from all kinds of sources. I've always loved his illustrations, especially for Weyerhouser. I used to look for them in magazines. Coinsidently, my mother bought me two posters last year of Stan's that were advertised in a yard sale. Sadly, she died a month after Stan.<br /><br />My condolences to the family.<br />Dorinda Hogue TroutmanDorinda Troutmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-37648156373407813592009-06-24T11:11:27.791-04:002009-06-24T11:11:27.791-04:00Thanks Chris;

I thoroughly enjoyed this post! Galli'...Leif -<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed this post! Galli's UAL posters were a mainstay in our house growing up in the 70's. I am also a car buff, so I love all of automotive drawings. I received a very nice e-mail from one of his sons not that long ago after I reached out to him and they seem like a very nice family. Reading this post, I was rewarded with a brief look at what it was to grow up with an artist like Stan Galli as the patriarch. Rest in Peace Stan, Job Well Done!<br /><br />Chris CreanCreanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701819162018508168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-52721310696757212672009-05-29T17:34:38.823-04:002009-05-29T17:34:38.823-04:00Oh, yeah!

The Weyerhouser series alone deserves historic recognition in illustration. I knew Stan in the early days of my career....he, a veritable dynamo of artistic energy. Stan and Bruce Bomberger were the reasons I interviewed at P&H in 1948....why not go where the best were? Comparisons are not good.....but I illustrated to live. Stan Galli lived to illustrate! Today, work of his caliber is, and forever will be, missed greatly.Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-59706830345423568752009-05-29T10:24:34.864-04:002009-05-29T10:24:34.864-04:00Steve and Matt;

As with most art, the background info really helps to add substantive "value" - seeing the pics with the narrative really gives it an almost tangible nature. Keep up the great work, Leif!<br /><br />Lastly, condolences to the family - he was brilliant!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891803494450719808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-85642744563421803722009-05-28T18:56:15.304-04:002009-05-28T18:56:15.304-04:00Leif-The past couple weeks posts have been a pleas...Leif-The past couple weeks posts have been a pleasure!Galli's work is consistantly beautiful.Soltesz's M.
