  • 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.

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.

  • CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONISTS: the MASTERS & the GREATS THEY INSPIRE Community Invited to Landmark Exhibition & Events at Studios on the Park
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 14, 2019 Contact: Sasha Irving, Artistic Director Tel. 805.610.5596 * Email. [email protected] CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONISTS: THE MASTERS & THE GREATS THEY INSPIRE Community Invited to Landmark Exhibition & Events at Studios on the Park Paso Robles, California —— With an aim to connect the great and timeless legacy of historic California Plein Air art to the 21st century, STUDIOS ON THE PARK presents California Impressionists: The Masters & The Greats They Inspire sponsored by Rancho Azul y Oro Olive Farm. Art lovers are invited to view the exhibition at STUDIOS ON THE PARK from October 3 to November 17 and attend affiliated special events taking place throughout the month of October. This exclusive and exceptional exhibition is a must-see for anyone who admires Impressionist painting. The confident color, bold brushwork, and “captured light” of this historical and contemporary artistic movement have captivated audiences on the West Coast since the turn of the 20th century. The first American Impressionism artists were influenced by artists in France and Italy, traveling to those regions to become students of plein air painting. Upon returning, they pioneered a new direction in American landscape painting. The California Impressionists, favoring the state’s advantageous climate and scenic and varied terrain, painted en plein air, or outdoors, capturing the distinctive color and light of regions throughout the state. An iconic subset of American Impressionism, California Impressionism is closely connected to the region in which it flourished, depicting the state’s exceptional beauty with a focus on canyons, coastlines, deserts, forests, and mountains. Exquisite examples of California Impressionism by renowned artists Maurice Braun (1877 – 1941), Selden Gile (1877 –1947), Joseph Kleitsch (1882-1931), Edgar Payne (1883 – 1957), Granville Redmond (1871 – 1935), Marion Wachtel (1873 – 1954) and others are included in this exhibition.
