Nitt Witt Ridge, one of California's remarkable Twentieth
Century Folk Art Environments, is the creation of Arthur
Harold Beal (der Tinkerpaw or Capt. Nitt Witt), a Cambria
Pines pioneer, who sculpted the land using hand tools and
indigenous materials, remarkable inventiveness, and
self-taught skills. A blend of native materials and
contemporary elements, impressive in its sheer mass and
meticulous placement, it is a revealing memorial to Art's
unique cosmic humor and zest for life.
