Granville Richard Seymour Redmond (March 9, 1871 – May 24, 1935) was an American landscape painter and exponent of Tonalism and California Impressionism.

[2] This change may have prompted his family's decision to move from the East Coast to San Jose, California: possibly for his education at the Berkeley School for the Deaf.

Granville attended the California School for the Deaf (CSD) in Berkeley from 1879 to 1890 where his artistic talents were recognized and encouraged.

In 1893 Redmond won a scholarship from the California School of the Deaf, which made it possible for him to study in Paris at the Académie Julian under teachers Jean-Paul Laurens and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant.

While living in Los Angeles, he became friends with Charles Chaplin, who admired the natural expressiveness of a Deaf person using American Sign Language.

Through Chaplin, he met Los Angeles neighbor artists Elmer Wachtel and Norman St. Clair.
