Siegriest was born in 1899. He was trained by Frank Van Sloun.[1]

Siegriest established a studio in Oakland, California, where he was a member of the Society of Six alongside Selden Connor Gile, August Gay, Maurice Logan, Bernard von Eichman, and William H. Clapp.[2][3] He began his career as an Impressionist, and he later became an Abstract Expressionist.[3] He painted Western landscapes, including Nevada ghost towns and cityscapes.[4] He often exhibited his work with his son, Lundy Siegriest, who predeceased him.[5]

Siegriest died on November 7, 1989 in Berkeley, California.[3] According to art historian Nancy Boas, Siegriest was "the grand old man of California art."[3] His artwork can be seen at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco,[6] the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[7] and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[8]

gollark: <@!222424031368970240> If you're trying to make a sandbox which can't be broken even if you know it's there and are deliberately trying to remove it here are some things to watch out for- `getfenv`- `os.queueEvent` (if you run code which does basically any IO outside of the sandbox/with access to non-sandbox functions)- `debug`- `load` (it has some weird environment quirks)- `io` (due to, again, environment weirdness, depending on how you load the new FS API it might still use the regular one)- potential meddling with global APIs like `string` and/or metatables, to confuse your sandboxing codeand to hide it you probably also want to worry about- `debug`- `string.dump`- `error` (you can generate stack tracebacks in a really convoluted way using it, which could allow detecting the sandbox)- `error` (in some very convoluted way you can generate stack tracebacks using this and thus realize
gollark: Proper sandboxing is extremely hard. But if you want to protect against people/things not actively attempting to break it you can do quite well.
gollark: What happened to make you want to avoid programming anyway?
