Anthony Hernandez
\n<\/strong>Now\u2013January 1, 2018
\n<\/strong>This first retrospective on the major American photographer Anthony Hernandez (b. 1947) features approximately 160 photographs\u2014many never shown before\u2014from the artist\u2019s more than forty-five-year career. Whether focusing on the human figure, the landscape, or abstract details, the Los Angeles native has captured in both black and white and color the desolate allure and sprawling expanses of his hometown.<\/p>\n

Degas to Picasso: Creating Modernism in France
\n<\/strong>November 4, 2017\u2013January 28, 2018
\n<\/strong>Paris became the center of modern art beginning in the nineteenth century. Artists from around the world, including Delacroix, Manet, C\u00e9zanne, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Chagall, and Picasso, gathered in its studios, galleries, salons, and museums. They moved away from traditional subjects and styles and, through experimentation, actively charted a course toward abstract art.\u00a0Degas to Picasso: Creating Modernism in France<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of modern art as it evolved during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, through 150 works representing transformative movements such as Impressionism and Cubism. This exhibition focuses especially on drawings, shown alongside important paintings, sculptures and prints, to highlight the crucial role that process and materials played in the experimentation and development of modern art.<\/p>\n

Jaime Hayon: Technicolor
\n<\/strong>December 8, 2017\u2013March 25, 2018
\n<\/strong>In the past ten years, Jaime Hayon (b. 1974) has emerged as an artist-designer at the forefront of an energetic new wave in contemporary design. Colorful and whimsical figures emerge from the depths of Hayon\u2019s imagination and, in some cases, his dreams, becoming sculptures, ceramics, textiles and playground equipment. Jaime Hayon: Technicolor <\/em>allows visitors to enter the Spanish artist-designer\u2019s vibrant world and find inspiration in his embrace of imagination.<\/p>\n

Designing Paris: The Posters of Jules Ch\u00e9ret
\n<\/strong>December 15, 2017\u2013April 29, 2018
\n<\/strong>Designing Paris: The Posters of Jules Ch\u00e9ret <\/em>opens in December with colorful, inventive posters advertising Paris\u2019s many entertainment venues, products, department stores and more in the late nineteenth century and made their maker, the French artist Jules Ch\u00e9ret (1836\u20131932), famous. His work in color lithography, which was previously used for commercial printing, transformed printmaking into a medium that artists today still see as rich for experimentation. \u00a0<\/em>This exhibition features highlights from a gift of nearly six hundred Ch\u00e9ret posters to the Museum from local collectors Susee and James Wiechmann.<\/p>\n
