Bruton sisters exhibition -- now on view!
The Bruton Sisters: Modernism in the Making is now on view at Langson IMCA's gallery space at 18881 Von Karman Avenue in Irvine. The show looks beautiful, and it's so inspiring that the Brutons are receiving the attention and respect they deserve as pioneering early-20th-century women artists.
Here's a little blurb about the show:
The Bruton Sisters: Modernism in the Making explores the Brutons’ innovative use of materials, creative approach to design, and collaborative process. A selection of their rarely exhibited paintings, prints, mosaics, terrazzos, and archival materials—paired with art by their Californian contemporaries—demonstrates the Bruton sisters’ impact. Featuring works from Langson IMCA’s permanent collection and loans from museums and private collections, this exhibition is the culmination of new research into the lives and careers of these previously overlooked women artists.
And more photos of the exhibition:
The show has been receiving a lot of media attention; people are fascinated with the Bruton sisters' story. Here are a few articles that have come out recently:

ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad you like it!
DeleteOh, I'd love to see this exhibition, but we won't be able to get to Monterey in time. How can I buy a catalog? I'm giving a course on California Women Artists, and really want to include the Bruton sisters
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a catalog for the show, but you can always buy my book, Sisters in Art, for the full story! You can order it from your local bookstore or from Amazon. Thanks for your interest!
