Solon, Camille Antoine Arnoux, 1877-1960

Muralist and ceramist Camille Solon was born March 27, 1877, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. In 1914 he emigrated to California to work with his brother on a ceramic therapy program. In 1915 they exhibited their ceramic works at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Camille was retained by Julia Morgan to design the mosaics of blue-and-gold Venetian glass tile used in the Roman Pool at Hearst Castle. He also did other decorative detail work on the estate.
