Sunshine, surfing, and Hollywood. Agriculture, earthquakes, and gold. From its topography to its glamour, California looms large in the world’s imagination. Artists have been drawn to the state’s iconic beauty for generations, capturing its luminous light and recording its coastline, cityscapes, agricultural life, mountain ranges, and more in mediums ranging from photography and oil paint to woodcuts and xerographic prints. Featuring more than fifty artworks dating from the late 1800s to the early 2000s, all drawn from the collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Artistic California celebrates the sites and experiences of our extraordinary state through the eyes of artists. Many luminaries of the California art world are featured here, such as David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, and Imogen Cunningham, as well as lesser known artists, resulting in an exceptional array of viewpoints, expressions of personal meaning, and cultural values. With an introductory essay by curator Emma Acker exploring the roots of California’s art tradition, its themes, and the ethnic perspectives that have played an essential role in California art, this volume creates an indelible portrait of our monumental state.
