Many Splendored Thing.”

The show will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays

available on Saturday evenings. The last day of the show is Aug. 29.

Russian impressionism will stay a little longer

The J. Kamin Fine Art gallery has extended its show of 20th

century Russian impressionism to Sept. 15.

The gallery describes the Soviet-era art being shown as having a

more masculine than French impressionism, with an appeal to the mass

audience in the Soviet Union. The style reached its peak in the 1950s

and 1960s, before a more hard-edged aesthetic became popular. The

gallery is at 1590 S. Coast Highway. Information: (949) 494-5076.

She will also discuss specific works of art. The 11 a.m. event

will be at the Laguna Art Museum, 307 Cliff Drive. Information: (949)
