Exhibits:
The Renoir exhibit focuses on his last 3 decades, when he was looking beyond Impressionism. I say looking beyond, but it was also a look back to classicism. And, as one art period changes to another, here from Impressionism to Modernism, the new artists, such as Picasso, Matisse and Bonnard looked at what they called Renoir’s “last manner” with admiration and ran it through their art filter. For that reason, you will see works by Picasso, Matisse, Maillol and Bonnard interspersed among the 80 paintings, sculptures and drawings.

Bungalows and Mansions: Our November 2008 art educational trip was to Pasadena.
Bungalow Heaven's version of Craftsman bungalows. Bob Kneisel guided us on an interior tour of his home. Bob was instrumental in getting Landmark status for the area of 800 bungalows dating from 1890 to the 1930s placed on the National Register of Historic Places. His reason for doing this was outrage that a developer could demolish a Craftsman bungalow to put up a tacky apartment building. Our hearts warm to a group that could change zoning and work towards keeping their heritage. See more at bungalowheaven.org. |
