  • Millard Sheets Was Raised and Became Sensitive to California’S Agricultural Lifestyle
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I A A R R N T O F C I L L U A B C CALIFORNIA ART CLUB NEWSLETTER Documenting California’s Traditional Arts Heritage for More Than 100 Years e s 9 t a 9 0 b lis h e d 1 attracted 49,000 visitors. It was in this rural environment that Millard Sheets was raised and became sensitive to California’s agricultural lifestyle. Millard Sheets’ mother died in childbirth. His father, John Sheets, was deeply distraught and unable to raise his son on his own. Millard was sent to live with his maternal grandparents, Louis and Emma Owen, on their neighbouring horse ranch. His grandmother, at age thirty-nine, and grandfather, at age forty, were still relatively young. Additionally, with two of their four youngest daughters, ages ten and fourteen, living at home, family life appeared normal. His grandfather, whom Millard would call “father,” was an accomplished horseman and would bring horses from Illinois to race against Elias Jackson “Lucky” Baldwin (1828-1909) at Baldwin’s “Santa Anita Stable,” later to become Santa Anita Park. The older of Millard’s two aunts babysat him and kept him occupied Abandoned, 1934 with doing drawings. Oil on canvas 39 5/80 3 490 Collection of E.

In 1874 Notre Dame’s founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., brought Vatican artist Luigi Gregori to campus. For the next seventeen years, Gregori beautified the school’s interiors––painting scenes on the interior of the Golden Dome and the Columbus murals within the Main Building, as well as creating murals and the Stations of the Cross for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. In 1875 the Bishops Gallery and the Museum of Indian Antiquities opened in the Main Building. The Bishops Gallery featured sixty portraits of bishops painted by Gregori. In 1899 Rev. Edward W. J.

    October 21, 2011 VIA E-MAIL Mr. Ken Kutcher Harding, Larmore, Kutcher & Kozal, LLP 1250 6th Street, Suite 200 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Re: Historic Resource Assessment 2600 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, California Dear Ken, We have been asked to evaluate the building located at 2600 Wilshire Boulevard (2600 Wilshire) in Santa Monica, California for eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) and under applicable statutes and regulations of the City of Santa Monica Landmark and Historic District Ordinance. We understand the subject property has been taken under consideration by the Landmarks Commission for potential designation under the local ordinance. The subject property occupies one parcel at the southeast corner of 26th Street and Wilshire Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel Number 4267-007-001). Completed in 1970, the building on the parcel is a former Home Savings & Loan Association (Home Savings)1 branch bank. It is set at a diagonal to the intersection, fronting a paved plaza at the northwest corner of the parcel. Two parcels to the east contain surface parking for the building (APN 4267-007-002 and APN 4267-007- 003). An alley runs along the south property line of the parcel containing the building. Additional parking is located south of this alley on a separate parcel (APN 4267-007-030), which is zoned for residential use. The building was constructed as part of a campaign of approximately 40 branch bank/office properties implemented by H.F. Ahmanson & Co. (Ahmanson & Co.) and subsidiaries, including Home Savings & Loan Association, and built between 1954 and 1975.

  • Carroll Barnes (American, 1906–1997) Worked in Various Careers Before Turning His Attention to Sculpture Full Time at the Age of Thirty
    1950 Sculpture in Wood and Stone by Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (American, 1906–1997) worked in various careers before turning his attention to sculpture full time at the age of thirty. His skills earned him a position as a professor of art at the University of Texas and commissions from many public and private institutions. His sculptures are created in various media, such as Lucite and steel. This exhibition of the California-based artist’s work presented thirty-seven of his sculptures. Barnes studied with Carl Milles (American, 1875–1955) at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. [File contents: exhibition flier] Color Compositions by June Wayne (March) June Wayne’s (American, 1918–2011) work received publicity in an article by Jules Langsner, who praised her for developing techniques of drawing the viewer’s eye through imagery and producing a sense of movement in her subjects. Her more recent works (as presented in the show) were drawn from the dilemmas to be found in Franz Kafka’s works. [File contents: two articles, one more appropriate for a later show of 1953 in memoriam Director Donald Bear] Prints by Ralph Scharff (April) Sixteen pieces by Ralph Scharff (American, 1922–1993) were exhibited in the Thayer Gallery. Some of the works included in this exhibition were Apocrypha, I Hate Birds, Walpurgisnacht, Winter 1940, Nine Cats, and Four Cows and Tree Oranges. Watercolors by James Couper Wright (April 3–April 15) Eighteen of James Couper Wright’s (1906–1969) watercolors were presented in this exhibition.

  • Contemporary Works ‘Toon Up
    CONTEMPORARY WORKS ‘TOON UP In the 1940s and 50s, the popular culture of the United States was saturated with images of cartoons. The baby boom inspired the use of cartoons in advertising; lure in the kids, and the parents will spend more money. But whether for advertising or entertainment, cartoons were the order of the day, and the visual language through which they communicated was seen on a massive scale. Accessibility is one aspect of cartoons that makes them excellent inspirations for visual art. A vast majority of the population has seen a cartoon on television, in a movie, or as part of a comic strip or graphic novel. This widespread familiarity with the construct of cartoons allows people of all ages and sensibilities to enjoy and understand the message contained therein. Presently on view at the Ball State University John Clem Clarke (American, born 1937) • Heater and Tub—Pentimenti, 1997 Museum of Art, Art in the ‘Toon Age, an international Acrylic on linen on mylar • Ball State University Museum of Art Collection exhibition of forty-two contemporary works of art.

Selected pieces from the exhibition belie Takashi Murakami, Chicago Imagists Jim Nutt and Karl their mild-mannered appearance by divulging themes of genocide, despair, and Wirsum, and many more. These artists grew up seeing aggression upon closer inspection. In this way cartoons have come of age and cartoons used frequently in the world around them.

    Tuesday of Holy Week - March 30, 2021 Isaiah 49:1-7 • Psalm 71:1-14 • 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 • John 12:20-36 John 12:20-36 Word of Life, 1964, by Millard Owen Sheets, American, 1907-1989 Stone mural Hesburgh Library, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana Continued Lectionary Texts for the Tuesday of Holy Week 2021- March 30 • Page 2 At 68 feet wide and 134 feet tall, this large mural decorates the exterior entrance to the Hes- burgh Library at the University of Notre Dame. The resurrected Jesus Christ is leading a proces- sion of saints, thinkers, teachers, and writers from different centuries and locations to convey the concept of the Roman Catholic Church’s historical continuity. n the words of Millard Sheets: “What they asked me to do was to suggest in a great processional the idea of a never-ending line of great scholars, thinkers, and teachers — saints that represented the best that man has recorded, and which are found represented in a library. The thought was that the various peri- ods that are suggested in the theme have unfolded in the continuous process of one generation giving to the next. I put Christ at the top with the disciples to suggest that He is the great teach- er — that is really the thematic idea.” Composed of 324 panels, the mural has 81 different stones from 16 countries in 171 finish- es, including granite, marble, and limestone. Sheets first made a painting of the design, and the Cold Spring Granite Company translated the design into a pattern of more than 6,000 separate pieces.
