"Charles Dickman, 1863- 1943, specialized in California shorelines at dusk.
“Monterey was the art colony in the early days. We first belonged to the Monterey group — Charles Rollo Peters, Francis McComas, Armin Hansen, the one who painted the sea so well, Boranda, who painted early California scenes, Charles Dickman, a genial character, Arnold Genthe—they were the group. They thought nothing of Carmel.
Old Monterey was adorable then. We went down when they put the gallery in at Del Monte in 1907. In the beginning, that's where we went to stay. For a year we went every three months and were guests at the Hotel Del Monte while the gallery was being organized.”
-- Xavier Martinez (Mexican-American, February 7, 1869 – January 13, 1943), artist in California, speaking of Monterey art scene."
