D. Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio while vacationing at

It may also be that after surgery he was able to see certain ultraviolet wavelengths of light that are normally excluded by the lens of the eye; this may have had an effect on the colours he perceived.

was an American landscape painter  and exponent of

Tonalism  and California  Impressionism. Redmond was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 9, 1871. He contracted Scarlet Fever  at around 2½ to the age of 3; when he recovered, he was found to be deaf. This may have prompted his family's decision to move from the East Coast to San Jose, California: the possibility for his education at the Berkeley School for the Deaf. Granville attended the California School for the Deaf  in Berkeley from 1879 to 1890 where his artistic talents were recognized and encouraged. There his teacher Theophilus d’Estrella taught him painting, drawing and pantomime.

Redmond enrolled at another CSD: the California School of

Design in San Francisco, where he worked for three years with teachers such as Arthur Frank Mathews and Amedee Joullin. He famously won the W. E. Brown Medal of Excellence. 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 Academie Julian under teachers Jean-Paul Laurens  and Jean-Joseph Benjamin Constant. In 1898, he returned to California and settled in Los Angeles.

He was married in 1899 to Carrie Ann Jean, a former student of the Illinois School for the Deaf. Together they had three children. While living in Los Angeles, he became friends with Charles Chaplin, who admired the natural expressiveness of a deaf person using American Sign Language.
By 1905 Redmond was receiving considerable recognition as a leading landscape painter and bold colorist.
