Artist Emile Norman, Big Sur, 1963

Artist Emile Norman at his home in Big Sur in 1963.  From 1946, Norman lived and worked at his studio-home in Big Sur on Pfeiffer Ridge with his partner Brooks Clement, until Clement's death in 1973 from cancer.  Norman often used an innovative technique bringing together his own mixture of epoxy-resin, crushed glass, plastic, or wood creating an effect not dissimilar to cloisonne or stained glass.  Norman died September 24, 2009 in Monterey at age 91.  (Monterey County Herald Archives)
