Colin Campbell Cooper: Landmark ​ March 1 - April 29, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sullivan Goss February, 2018 AN AMERICAN GALLERY 11 East Anapamu Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 (805) 730-1460 COLIN CAMPBELL COOPER: LANDMARK ​ MARCH 1 - APRIL 29, 2018 SANTA BARBARA, CA - Sullivan Goss is pleased to ​ announce an exhibition of work by celebrated American Impressionist, Colin Campbell Cooper (1856-1937). ​ ​ Cooper was an incessant world traveler during his lifetime and those travels were reflected in his paintings. The views in this exhibition chronicle the travels of an artist whose sense of adventure took him from famous and exotic landmarks to quiet pastoral valleys and everywhere in between. Often painted on site, the spontaneity of the artists hand as well as his ability to capture the fleeting moments of light and impressions of time are what make him one of the most admired American Impressionists. The paintings in this show demonstrate why Cooper work can be seen in so many national museums, and is sought after by collectors from coast to coast. Cooper was born in Philadelphia in 1856 and moved to Santa Barbara in 1921. He studied with Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts as well as the Academie Julian in Paris. He was elected as a member of the National Academy of Design in 1912. Colin Campbell Cooper died in Santa Barbara, CA in 1937. His work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA, The White House, Washington, D.C., Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA, Crocker Museum, Sacramento, CA, among many others. Come to the opening. Explore, acquire, network, and celebrate! 1st Thursday, March 1st from 5 - 8pm. www.sullivangoss.com | www.facebook.com/sullivan.goss ​ ​ ​ For images or other information requests, contact Nathan Vonk at 805.730.1460 or [email protected] ​ .

  • A Native Charlestonian, Alice Smith Used Her Art to Bring Attention to the Beauty and Heritage of Charleston and the Surrounding Lowcountry Region
    Fig. 1: Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (1876–1958), Cattle in the Broom Grass, An Autumn Evening, from the series A Carolina Rice Plantation of the Fifties, ca. 1935. Watercolor on paper, 18 x 13 inches. Image courtesy of the Gibbes Museum of Art/ Carolina Art Association. 1937.009.0008. A native Charlestonian, Alice Smith used her art to bring attention to the beauty and heritage of Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry region. In addition to studio practice, Smith was active at the Gibbes Museum of Art, where she organized exhibi- tions of her own work as well as the work of others. Cattle in the Broom Grass is part of a series of thirty original watercolors Smith created for A Carolina Rice Plantation of the Fifties, published in 1936. 302 www.antiquesandfineart.com 11th Anniversary OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVES visiting artists in charleston by pamela wall and sara arnold harleston, South Carolina, has long been a destination for those seeking warm C weather, picturesque landscapes, and the charm of a historic city. Artists are no exception to the rule, and a number of well-known names have visited the city and translated their experiences into works of art. Included among this group are such twentieth- century masters as Edward Hopper, Childe Hassam, George Biddle, and photographer Walker Evans. Between the years 1910 to 1945, in particular, Charleston flourished as a Mecca for art- ists, a period described today as the Charleston Renaissance. The Charleston Renaissance was largely the result of a small community of resident artists who discovered in Charleston’s timeworn alleyways and weathered facades a visual beauty that spoke of its extraordinary architectural and cultural past.

    jan | feb | march | 2016 s a n t a b a r b a r a m u s e u m o f a r t from the director Dear Members, This new year is especially significant as it marks an important milestone—the Museum’s 75th anniversary. On Thursday, June 5, 1941, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art opened its doors for the first time amidst a throng of community leaders, local schoolchildren, and SBMA founders. The idea for a city museum originally came from the local artist Colin Campbell Cooper. When he learned that the main post office building, erected in 1912 and abandoned for several years, was going to be sold, he proposed, in a letter published in the Santa Barbara News-Press in July of 1937, that the impressive Italianate structure should be transformed into a museum. What Cooper himself described as something of a “pipedream” came to fruition just four years later, thanks to a groundswell of support from the community and the commitment of a small, passionate army of artists and civic-minded individuals. Also voicing their enthusiasm for the project was a large group of merchants, some 125 of whom petitioned the County’s Board of Supervisors to buy the property from the federal government so that it may be used as a museum. Their plea was heeded and, before long, a number of Santa Barbara residents formed an official museum committee and a number of generous citizens offered funds to remodel the building, to construct galleries, and to add new floors and lighting that would be up to museum standards.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. l.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS: Selected Works from 1880 Through 1920
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 17, 2012 AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS: Selected Works from 1880 through 1920 JUNE 7 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2012 http://www.sullivangoss.com/Exhibits/SGTV_IMPRESSIONISTS Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery presents AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS, a remarkable salon of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Tonalist paintings by some of the giants of the American School. Around the late 1880s, the rapid brushwork and bold colors found in European salons began appearing in American museums and galleries. Artists like Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, and Louis Ritman traveled abroad to learn the grand tradition of painting only to discover that the rules of classical, Academic painting had been broken. These artists and the others in this exhibition began painting in the modern manner, making way for the world’s favorite style of painting, Impressionism and its offshoots Tonalism and Post Impressionism. Studying under the likes of Claude Monet and James McNeill Whistler, these American artists defined what we have come to know and love about this era of American art--soft, affecting light conveyed by small daubs of paint that coalesce into a gorgeous image full of light and air. While in Europe, many of these artists lived communally in Giverny, France. Alongside Monet, they worked en plein air to capture the immediate effects of light in nature. It is remembered that Monet told Lilla Cabot Perry that her “first impression should go onto the canvas, as it is the truest and most pure expression.” Upon the American artists’ repatriation, they brought with them works by their European teachers and paved the way for these avant-garde styles in the domestic art market.

After my first ten years in a gallery in Encino, I moved to Laguna Beach and have been here in the same charming building for the past twenty-one years. After all, Laguna was the favored painting destination and home to many of the early historical artists in which I specialize, so it is quite appropriate that The Redfern Gallery is here as well. It is the same glorious environment that is depicted in many of the paintings I display. I am fortunate to live in Laguna Beach and it still gives me great joy and a sense of accomplishment to come to work and encounter more great paintings from this phenomenal art period. Four years ago, I opened a second gallery location in the beautiful Montage Resort and Spa.
