Beginning on August 14th, the third floor of the Museum will house the work of Chester Arnold and Fletcher Benton, two truly original California artists. Chester Arnold is familiar to us at the Museum -- his painting On Earth as It Is in Heaven has been a talking-piece for museum goers, both old and young, since it became a part of our collection. Fletcher Benton is a sculptor and painter who works in geometric forms, producing large and small metal sculptures as well as watercolors. What is exciting about this show is that the artist and Museum staff are installing Benton’s studio on the third floor -- an incredible chance to see how an artist thinks and works! more...
