ROBERT GEORGE 1928 - 1999Robert George was born in Chino, California and is the nephew of master woodworker Sam Maloof. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Redlands and a Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate School. He also studied at Harvard University and in Italy.
For thirty years, George taught art in the Whittier and Pomona Unified School Districts as well as at graduate schools. During that time, he also served as president, curator and trustee of the Chaffey Community Art Association (now CCMA).
George's dominant style was abstract expressionism. His work has been exhibited throughout California including Gump's Gallery in San Francisco. His mosaic work is installed at Our Lady of Assumption in Claremont, California, altar screens at the Methodist Church in Chino, California, and a collection of Nativity Scenes at the Headquarters of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America in Chicago, Illinois.
George was honored by winning many awards during his lifetime.
