"The detail asks for patience, for a slower way of seeing, where what is revealed is as much felt as it is seen."

@lauren_wilford Thanks so much for visiting the Castañeda exhibition! This is the first US museum retrospective of the artist, and we're definitely going to miss this show once it's gone.

[Lauren Wilford @lauren_wilford]

recently I saw an art exhibition that truly made me both laugh and cry: a retrospective of a painter I had never heard of before, Mexican surrealist Alfredo Castañeda (1938-2010). Every painting felt like an "instant classic," as if it had always been part of the canon

Honored to be featured by @sdut as we celebrate 100 years of art in San Diego. From centennial exhibitions to our free Feb 28 birthday and plans for a new west wing, we’re excited for the future. Grateful for a century of support.

Fridays are for flowers and November is for chrysanthemums!
Favored by the flourishing merchant class during Japan's Edo period, the Rimpa style blended refinement with wit and vibrant natural motifs.
