Henrietta Shore (1880-1963), "Women of Oaxaca," ca. 1930, lithograph on paper, 14 x 18.25 inches
Arnold Blanch (1896-1968), "Standing Nude in Interior," 1928, oil on canvas, 42 x 30 inches

Our new exhibition is an important survey of images of women, as conceived by artists living and working in California from approximately 1910 to 1950. This exciting array of work was created by some of California’s foremost Modernists. Whether nudes, portraits or figure studies, each of these artworks reflects a strong Modernist aesthetic and tells a story about one of the most prized of painterly subjects – the female.

We are proud to present works by Gertrude Albright, Victor Arnautoff, Arnold Blanch, Claude Buck, Brents Carlton, Pele de Lappe, Karoly Fulop, Zama Vanessa Helder, Helen Clark Oldfield, Otis Oldfield, Nina Saemundsson, Jacques Schnier, Henrietta Shore, Rex Slinkard, Ralph Stackpole, Lucretia Van Horn, Edouard Vysekal, Bernard Zakheim, and many others. The exhibition includes oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, lithographs and sculpture.
