Laguna Art Museum
Collectors of American Impressionism talk at 1 p.m. June 26. A
panel of collectors represented in Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art
from Private Collections will discuss collecting with a specific
focus on American Impressionism. Moderated by the exhibition’s
co-curator, and Laguna Art Museum curator of collections, Janet
Blake.
Lectures are free to members and free to non-members with Museum
admission.
Karen Feuer-Schwager, long-time Laguna Beach resident and
internationally exhibited artist, is currently showing eight of her
newest works at the Laguna Art Museums’ Sales and Rental Gallery
through June. Feuer-Schwager, a classically trained artist, has
experimented with abstract shapes and forms for many years. She
employs polymer, a fluid medium allows her imagination to flow into
the pieces, resulting in creations that are light, airy and often
colorful.
“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections,” through
July 10; “Paul Paiement Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” through July 3; and
“Surf Culture Redux” through Oct. 5.
“Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” is a five-year survey of the
Los Angeles-based painter. Hybrids is an ongoing series of watercolor
and egg tempera paintings based on psychological theories of visual
perception, with the artist acting as a painter, scientist and
entomologist.
“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections” focuses
on collectors in Laguna Beach and the vicinity. Works range from the
early 20th century to the early 21st century. Profiles of the
collectors, their collections and the selected artwork will accompany
the selections.
“Surf Culture Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from
the museum’s most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture --
The Art History of Surfing.” Past, present and future links between
surfing and art are explored through works of art by surfers and
artists influenced by surfing.
