Dies and Is Buried

OAKLAND. Oct. 29.-Oscar Kunath,
for 80 years a member of the best
established art circles of San Francisco,
was buried today. He died at the Al
tenheim, Fruitvale, this week. where
by the irony of fate fire for the second
time destroyed d large collecting of
his paintings, leaving a few canvases
from the total output of busy life in
the studio.
The San Francisco fire of 1906 all
but wiped out Kunaths work. Cal
lery's where he exhibited and private
collections where his works occupied
honored positions were burned and the
loss broke his health. At that time he
removed with his wife, Emile, to the
Altenheim
Kunath began all over again painting
busily as ever and with his product of
as high grade as before. A collection
of paintings since the fire was on eX-
hibition at the Altenheim when the in
stitution was burned and again the
flames licked up his choicest canvases.
Two of his best known compositions
escaped both disasters. one illustrating
Bret Hartes Luck of Roaring Camp
and the other called "Kaffee Klatsch.
kunath had many FAMOUS SlttefS Tor
portraits, one of them being Mrs. Le-
land Stanford. Before his arrival in
San Francisco in the seventies he had
been a prominent figure in the art
colonies at Philadelphia and New York.
He was born at Munich, Germany, 70
years ago.
The services today from Wollitz' un-
deftaking parlors We're conducted by
Rev. DR. Jatho of the German Lutheran
church of San Francisco.
