Life

Siegriest was born in 1925 in Oakland, California.[1] His father, Louis Siegriest, was a painter,[2] as was his stepmother, Edna Stoddart. Siegriest graduated from the California College of the Arts in Oakland.[1]

Siegriest became a painter in his own right. He was initially a realist and later became an abstract expressionist. He returned to realism after being injured in a fall.[1][3] He painted Western landscapes en plein air, and he often exhibited his work with his father.[1]

Siegriest died of cancer on November 13, 1985 in Berkeley, California, at age 60.[2][3][4] His work can be seen at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco,[5] the Oakland Museum of California,[6] and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.[7]
