Linda and Dan's one-day trip to |
||
Recently, Linda and I took a one-day trip, flying south to Orange, California to visit the Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University. This is the second such trip we've taken, the first being a one day trip to the Seattle Art Museum for a special Andrew Wyeth exhibition in 2018. Yes, I know, it makes for a tiring day, but our cat feeding responsibilities and sleeping in our own bed has its up side. |

Millard Sheets, 1907-1989, San Dimas Train Station 1933 The Hilbert Collection (I apologize for my ghostly reflection while photographing this painting)
|
||
In 1992, the Hilberts were decorating their Palm Springs home and found their first California Scene painting in a consignment shop. Mark says they fell in love with the painting at first sight. Since then, they have educated themselves and learned more from art authors, scholars and artists. Throughout, they continued collecting, including paintings, lithographs and watercolors. They now own ore that 3,000 watercolors, oil paintings and prints, all depicting everyday life in the Golden State. |
