Capturing Malibu's Scenic Beauty Capturing Malibu’s Scenic Beauty All Around Us The Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art is “On Location” with its upcoming art show. BY LAURIE HARTT or a quarter of a century, Pepperdine University has Fhoused one of Malibu’s hidden diamonds, a treasure that only true seekers have marked on their maps— the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1992, and it has been showcasing world-class art ever since. Since its inception, the museum— named for benefactor and renowned Los Angeles-based modern art Alexey Steele, “The Wave,” oil on linen, 30” x 40” collector Frederick Weisman—has been focused on displaying collections on “Having such a high-profile museum and other artists of the day, the California par with the other big name galleries on a college campus sets us apart.

  • Henrietta Shore in Point Lobos and Carmel
    HENRIETTA SHORE IN POINT LOBOS AND CARMEL: SPIRIT OF PLACE, ESSENCE OF BEING by MINA TOCHEVA STOEVA (Under the Direction of Janice Simon) ABSTRACT Shore’s visual vocabulary developed from Impressionism towards more stylized, abstracted forms in her 1920s work, and after 1930 culminated in the textured, detailed and almost tactile drawings produced in Carmel, California. This thesis focuses on the impact that Carmel had on her personal and artistic life. A detailed analysis of Shore’s images of the Monterey Peninsula establishes the connection between her extended visual narrative of the locale and the tradition of written ecocentric narratives. I will consider the Theosophical and transcendental ideas that Shore expressed in her work and relate them to Lawrence Buell’s theory of ecocentric narrative. By unveiling the subtleties of such a narrative and the process of its creation, the present analysis will further our understanding of Shore’s deeply emotional and spiritual attachment to the Monterey Peninsula. More than merely depicting a peculiar landscape, Shore’s late drawings reveal her preoccupation with current literary and philosophical trends, while simultaneously creating an intimate reflection of the artist’s self. INDEX WORDS: Henrietta Shore (1880-1962), Carmel, Point Lobos, landscape, transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson, place, ecocentric narrative, Theosophy, self-portrait, American modernism, Johann Wolfgang Goethe HENRIETTA SHORE IN POINT LOBOS AND CARMEL: SPIRIT OF PLACE, ESSENCE OF BEING by MINA TOCHEVA STOEVA BA,

  • Adiant P Ressions
    Radiant Impressions Note to Teachers UCI Institute and Museum of California Art (IMCA) aims to be a resource to educators and students by offering school visits, programs, digital tools, and activities designed for grades 3–12 that contribute to the development of stronger critical-thinking skills, empathy, and curiosity about art and culture. When students are encouraged to express themselves and take risks in discussing and creating art, they awaken their imaginations and nurture their creative and innovative potential. School visits offer opportunities for students to develop observation and interpretation skills using visual and sensory information, build knowledge independently and with one another, and cultivate an interest in artistic production. This Teacher Resource Guide includes essays, artist biographies, strategies for interdisciplinary curriculum integration, discussion questions, methods for teaching with objects, a vocabulary list, and activities for three works in IMCA’s collection that are included in the exhibition Radiant Impressions. About the Exhibition From California Impressionism to the Light and Space movement, California artists have been celebrated for their skillful rendering of the perceptual effects of light. Focusing on painters working in California throughout the 20th century, Radiant Impressions considers the ways these artists have engaged with light not only for its optical qualities Radiant Impressions but also for its power to infuse ephemeral moments with meaning and emotion. Whether the warm golden tones of the California sun or the intense glow of electric bulbs, light in these paintings communicates a sense of anticipation, celebration, rest, and reflection. Presenting works organized in thematic groupings—The Domestic Realm and Work, Capturing the Scene, Play and the Social Sphere, and Lighting the Portrait—the exhibition brings together a diverse selection of landscapes and portraiture as well as genre scenes depicting people at work and at play.

  • 4.4. Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    City of Malibu Environmental Impact Analysis Cultural and Paleontological Resources 4.4. Cultural and Paleontological Resources This section identifies cultural resources present within the Project area, evaluates potential Project-related impacts on those resources, and provides mitigation measures, as applicable. Paleontological resources are also discussed in this section because both cultural and paleontological resources are treated as cultural resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Historical built environment and archaeological resources are discussed and analyzed first, followed by the discussion and analysis of paleontological resources. The information contained in this section was compiled from survey results as well as recommendations contained in the Historical and Archaeological Resources Technical Report for the Malibu Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility Project, which was prepared in March 2014 for the City of Malibu by ICF International. The survey of cultural resources was conducted under the provisions of Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. The Project would be constructed in three phases and has four main elements that could result in cultural and paleontological resources impacts: 1) wastewater treatment facility; 2) pump stations; 3) wastewater collection and recycled water distribution system pipelines; and 4) percolation ponds and groundwater injection wells. For the purposes of this section, “Project area” refers to the area that encompasses the extents of the four main elements described above and the area that would be served by these proposed Project facilities, and “Project site” refers specifically to those areas that would be disturbed by construction activities associated with these four main elements.

Cultivation, environment, and faithful caring all have an influence on the final result. Throughout history burgeoning artists have instinctively, and certainly out of financial consideration, opted to live in close communities with fellow artists. In such settings, artists create their own subcultures as they spend their days among like-minded friends who speak their language—a form of communication that is based on their specific brand of artistic discipline and philosophy. Fellowship among artists becomes an essential source of sustaining encouragement in this lifestyle which can be sporadic in work and income.
