California Impressionism And Its Artists
Harvey L. Jones Gallery - west wall - first view
California Impressionists at Laguna, a 2000 exhibit at the Florence Griswold Museum organized by Florence Griswold Museum curator Jack Becker, consists of twenty-six paintings by over a dozen California artists and selected works by members of the Lyme Art Colony, providing opportunity to compare and contrast the styles and subjects of the Lyme and Laguna Impressionists. The exhibition examines how the colonies contributed to the very identity of their regions; in the case of Laguna as a new Eden of perpetual sunshine, and for Lyme as a place rooted in traditional New England values.
