Charles Reiffel Biography:

Charles P. Reiffel was an American painter that belonged to the early California school of Impressionism. Reiffel was frequently seen on the backroads of San Diego County painting the hills, farms and countryside. His unique southern California landscapes done en plein air -- outdoor and onsite, earned him acclaim locally and nationally.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 9, 1862. A self-taught artist, Reiffel began his career in Cincinnati at Stowbridge Lithography Company and continued that business in NYC and England in 1891. While in Europe he studied briefly with Carl Marr at the Munich Academy. After six years in Europe, he returned to Buffalo, NY at the turn of the century. It was during this time that his modern approach to painting began to attract favorable notices. In 1912 he bought a home in Silvermine, CT and then commuted to NYC to tend to his lithography business. About 1921 Reiffel gave up lithography to devote full time to easel painting.

In 1925 he and his wife visited San Diego and were so enchanted with the area they opted to remain. He lived and painted in California until his death in San Diego on March 14, 1942.
