All Things Bright and Beautiful: California Impressionist Paintings from the Irvine Museum, a 1998 touring exhibit organized by the Irvine Museum. A distinct artistic style combining aspects of European and American Impressionism developed in California at the beginning of the twentieth century. Responding to the abundant light of that Western state, this style is called California Impressionism or California Plein Air painting, from the French for "in the open air." All Things Bright and Beautiful features masterworks by such leading artists in the field as Franz Bischoff; Alson Clark; Colin Campbell Cooper, NA; Armin Carl Hansen, NA; Granville Redmond, Guy Rose; William Wendt, ANA and Theodore Wores.
