"I have always been interested in the spectacular terrain of the deserts of the West – the magnitude of the desert cliffs. I have departed from the traditional landscape without feeling it necessary to disown my native desert subjects, without becoming purely abstract or non-objective, but have taken its advantages."

Louis Siegriest, from the catalog, "Louis Siegriest Retrospective", Oakland Museum, 1972

"... one of the greatest landscape painters now at work in America."

Alfred Frankenstein, San Francisco Chronicle, August 7, 1971

From his association with the well-known "Society of Six" in the 1920's well into his eighties, Louis Siegriest created a remarkably large and excellent body of work, with a continuing development of vision that reached higher and higher levels of quality.

"... Siegriest and Richard Diebenkorn are perhaps the greatest of contemporary landscape painters."

Thomas Albright, San Francisco Chronicle, June 5, 1975
