LAGUNA BEACH, CA.-The Laguna Art Museum presents California Art from the Permanent Collection: Part I, The Beginning, 1832-1925. This is the first of three successive exhibitions over the next year that will present work from the nineteenth century to the present time. Part I, The Beginning, 1832-1925, will cover work made from the early days of the region before California became a state in 1850, to Impressionism in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, and ends with the early influence of modernism in the late 1920s. The sixteen painters represented in the exhibition are: Mabel Alvarez, Maurice Braun, Norton Bush, Elanor Colburn, Marius Dahlgren, Ferdinand Deppe, William Hahn, Anna Althea Hills, Fernand Lungren, William Joseph McCloskey and Alberta Binford McCloskey, Julian Rix, Matteo Sandona, Donna Schuster, Frederick Schwankovsky, Juan Buckingham Wandesforde, and Karl Yens. Today Laguna Art Museum’s permanent collection has nearly 5,000 works of art. The collection and the Museum’s library and curatorial artist files, which date back to the early twentieth century, make the Museum one of the premier resources for the study of California art. Organized by Laguna Art Museum.
