Alice Ellen Klauber
Alice Ellen Klauber (May 19, 1871, San Diego - July 5, 1951, Lemon Grove)[1] was an American landscape painter.
Her parents, Abraham Klauber (1831–1911) and Theresa née Epstein (1841–1921), emigrated from what was then Bohemia in 1869 and settled in San Diego, where he became a merchant.
The following year, for the Panama-California Exposition, she joined with Henri and Dr. Edgar Hewett, the director of exhibits, to present paintings by some of America's notable contemporary artists.
In 1926, she and her brother-in-law, the banker Julius Wangenheim (1866–1942), who was married to her sister Laura (1869–1947), participated in the creation of the Fine Arts Society of San Diego.
[1] She also provided financial support by donating artworks from such famous painters as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
