The de Young's Jewel City, Art from San Francisco's Panama Pacific Exposition, 1915	For a taste of the times, here's some newsreel footage courtesy of KPIX 5
It was a great party and was San Francisco ready! The newly opened Panama Canal made America's largest natural harbor accessible to the East and Europe. After the '06 Quake and fire, San Francisco was back, and eager to take its place among the great cities of the world, a leader in trade, and a center of culture.
The Panama-Pacific International Exposition covered a 635 acre marshland track along the bay, now filled with debris from the '06 Quake. Today, the location is home to San Francisco's posh Marina District. 19 million visitors came over the ten month show.

California Painters
For art lovers, it was a chance to see some of the best painters from Europe and America's East Coast, and for California painters, it was an opportunity to show their work alongside the best. Of course, national boundaries aren't too helpful in pigeonholing artists. Worthy artistic ideas cannot be held by borders. Artists often travel and study abroad, and many live out their careers as ex-patriots. One of the most notable California artists was E. Charlton Fortune. Because she disliked her given first name, Euphemia, and because women artists were not as easily recognized, she disguised her painting signature by beginning it with her first name initial "E." Her impressionist style is outstanding, and her painting The Pool shows off the elegant classical structure and color of the architecture present at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.	E. Charton Fortune (1885-1969), The Pool .1915 Private Collection

American Painters
Winslow Homer (1836-1910), Saco Bay ,1896 Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA	Winslow Homer (1836-1910), The Artist's Studio in an Afternoon Fog, 1894 Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester. NY
Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911) , The Pennance of Eleanor, Duchess of Gloucester, 1900 Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA	A true hit among the American artists on display was Winslow Homer's Saco Bay, 1886 and The Artist's Studio in an Afternoon Fog, 1894. Homer never taught in an art school or privately, but influenced generations of American painters. Robert Henri called his work "integrity of nature." N.C. Wyeth studied informally with Homer, and in turn, shared his admiration for Homer with both Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. Homer often said, "Look at nature, work independently, and solve your own problems." Edwin Austin Abbey was best known for his Shakespearean and Victorian subjects. Bostonian Leroy Willard Metcalf studied at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Academie Julian in Paris. Later, he taught in New York at the Art Students League and the Womans Art School, Cooper Union.

Robert Henri (1865-1929), Portrait of Eulabee Dix Becker (Lady in Black Velvet) 1911, High Museum, Atlanta, GA	An entire gallery of the de Young's exhibition was dedicated to portraits on exhibition in 1915. An extremely vertical portrait of Eulabee Dix Becker by Robert Henri was striking. James McNeill Whistler's Study in Rose and Brown was quite pleasing. The striking light of Cecillia Beaux's New England Woman was impressive. Beaux was an American society portraitist, and was often compared with her contemporary, Mary Cassatt. She was quite successful among the ruling class, as her portraits were sympathetic to her subjects and quite beautiful.

William Merritt Chase was best known for his portraits, including many of America's and Western Europe's most important men and women of his time. Late in his career, he taught painting at Carmel, California. Thomas Eakins was one of America's greatest artists. He is known for his portraits, often of intellectuals in Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry Ossawa Tanner was an African American painter who was the first of his race to gain international acclaim for his painting. His portrait above is by Thomas Eakins, his teacher and fellow painter.
Ellen Emmet Rand (1875-1941), In the Studio 1910 William Benton Museum of Art, 0 University of Connecticut, Storrs, CN	Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Mother and Child with a Rose Scarf, 1908 Metropolitan Museum, New York	Gari Melchers (1860--1932), The Open Door 1905-10 Gari Melchers Home and Studio, University of Mary Washington, Falmouth, VA
Mary Cassatt was America's greatest impressionist. She lived most of her adult life in France and was a close friend of Edgar Degas. She is often remembered because of a 1894 quotation by Gustave Geffroy who described Cassatt as "les trois grandes dames" of impressionism, alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot. She is best known for her paintings of the private lives of women and children. Ellen Emmet Rand was born in San Francisco, but her family moved east while she was still a child. She studied in Boston and New York and was successful for her portraits. Her In the Studio, 1910 was a favorite at the de Young's exhibition, with patrons admiring a lovely young girl dressed in white holding a quite comfortable black cat. Gari Melcher's The Open Door is composition storytelling at its best. Close up or from across the gallery, the viewer's eye is drawn in, exploring each tale, the outdoors beyond the window, the women chatting on the well lighted parlor couch and the woman in the darkened hallway, perhaps listening in and overhearing something she probably should not have heard.

In 1915, both Ashcan School William Glackens and John French Sloan were well known contemporary painters. The New York scenes above were, at the time of the PPIE, scenes of everyday life. Today, we recall their work as art which captured the scenes, mood, and flavor of life of an era long passed. At the time, they thought of themselves as journalists, capturing life around them and visually reporting on it. It is doubted they had a full appreciation that the whole of their artistic endeavors were accumulating a significant historical record.

West European Artists	James Tissot (1836-1902), L'ambitieuse (The Political Woman) 1883-85 Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY
European art was a major component of the Panama-Pacific exhibition. The de Young's Jewel City Exhibition featured two very striking works of well dressed women. German Leo Putz's On the Shore and James Tissot's L'ambitieuse (The Political Woman) were most noticeable and garnered more than an equal share of admiration.
Leo Putz (1869-1940), On the Shore, 1909 Collection of Sigfried Unterberger
Andre Eduard Devambez (1867-1944), Le Charge, 1902-03 Musee d'Orsay, Paris	Andre Eduard Devambez painted scenes of daily Paris life. Had he been in New York, he might have gotten along well with members of the Ashcan School. His Le Charge was loaned to the de Young's Jewel City Exhibition from its home at the Musee d'Orsay. Devambez shows confrontation between the Paris police and demonstrators in Montmartre. The shop lights and street lights fall flat against the dark clothing of police and citizens in what appears to be tense silhouetted face off, just moments before madness breaks loose. Nicolai Fechin was a promising Russian portraitist with a most interesting style. After the Russian Revolution, he emigrated to the U.S., was active in Taos, New Mexico and often painted with California Desert painters, including Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery artist John W. Hilton. The Panama-Pacific Exhibition also was the American debut of Hungarian artists. Two of the most impressive portraits at the de Young's Jewel City exhibition were Robert Bereny's Portrait of Bella Bartok and Lojos Tihanyi's Self Portrait.

Salvador Dali & Walt Disney: Parallel Paths: The Walt Disney Family Museum's exhibition "Disney and Dali: Architects of Imagination" ends Jan 3.
Walt and Salvador strolling	The parallel stories of these two seemingly different artists is quite striking. At the beginning of the twentieth century, American Walt Disney was born in December of 1901 and Spaniard Salvador Dali in May, 1904. Both had artistic leanings fueled by fanciful imaginations and encouraged by supportive mothers, and hindered by domineering fathers.
		Both enrolled in art schools at early ages, Disney to the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and Dali to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Both held a love for where they grew up, Disney for Marceline, Missouri (inspiration for Disneyland's Main Street) and Dali for the stark landscape of Cap de Creus, the rocky bays of Costa Brava, and the fishing village of Cadaques, (frequent settings for many of his paintings.)
Both achieved great success early on, with each of their names being synonymous with their unique art. Dali graced Time Magazine's cover in 1936 at the age of 32. Walt would be on the cover just over a year later at the age of 36. Both were fans of each other's work. Disney incorporated classically trained artists in an effort to advance animation, encouraging their artistic talents to bend reality and tell fanciful stories that could only be told with animation. Dali regarded Disney's work as Surrealist, capturing both the real and imagined.	Salvador Dali, (age 32) Time Cover, Dec 14, 1936	one year later, Walt Disney (age 36), Time Cover, Dec 27, 1937

Disney and Dali finally met and decided to collaborate on a project. After Dali visited the Disney musical archives, he came upon a piece of music titled Destino, a composition of Armando Dominguez performed by Dora Luz.

John Hench of Disney studios storyboarded the project beginning in 1945 and into 1946, incorporating some initial sketches by Dali. But due to wartime expenses, the project was shelved. In 1999, Walt's nephew Roy Disney Jr. while doing some archival research unearthed the project. With the help of Disney's Parisian Production department he completed the project, directed by French animator Dominique Monfery.

Destino, first begun in 1945 by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney, remained archived for
54 years until it was completed by Walt's nephew, Roy Disney Jr. The film was
completed by the Disney production team headquartered in Paris,
and was directed by French animator, Dominique Monfery.

		After the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt built his famous Disney Studios. He brought in well known artists such as Phil Dike of the Chouinard School of Art and experts to teach classes, inspiring and enabling his already talented staff to greater heights. To think that Steamboat Willy was released in 1928, and just ten years later, the Disney Studios produced Fantasia -- what an explosive and creative place it must have been. During this period, Walt recruited and hired the best artistic and technical talent he could find, including Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery's featured artist, Joshua Meador, a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago. Meador was one of the directors of Fantasia and rose quickly to become Walt's Director of Animation Effects, a position he held for nearly thirty years.
		Part of the exhibition at the Disney Family Museum explained Dali's fascination with America's three great surrealists, whom he considered to be Cecil B. DeMille, Harpo Marx and Walt Disney. Dali first met Harpo Marx in 1936 in Paris. The following Christmas, Dali gave Harpo a new harp, strung with barbed wire. Harpo responded by posing for a photo of Dali sketching Harpo playing the barbed wire harp, with bandages on his fingers.	At Walt Disney's request, Joshua Meador painted The Last Symphony, Josh's homage to Dali based on the opening sequence from Fantasia. It was shown at a reception for Dali at the Studios in 1946. Currently on display and available at Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery
		Disney shared Dali's admiration of the Marx Brothers, and Harpo's talent at physical comedy and pantomime. He featured them in several of his Silly Symphonies. Both Disney and Dali appreciated each other's unbridled talent, and they remained very good friends until Walt's passing in 1966.	The Marx Brothers, from Walt Disney's 1938 Silly Symphony: Mother Goose Goes to Hollywood
In 1951, Dali visited Walt's home and rode his 1/8 scale backyard model steam train. In 1957, Dali hosted Walt and Lillian at his home in Port Lligat, a bay on Spain's Cape de Creus peninsula, on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean Sea.

A Look at The Monterey Art Colony ... San Francisco Call, Aug 25, 1901

Impressionist Evelyn McCormack 1862-1948 made her studio in Monterey's Old Custom's House.	Having spoken with many fans of California Art, we learned that many folks believe the Carmel-Monterey art community had its beginning after the 1906 earthquake leveled so much of San Francisco. But here is a 1901 article from the San Francisco Call that shows that the Monterey Peninsula attracted artists long before. The author of this article, Harriett Quimby, cites a long list of artists who kept summer studios in Monterey or lived there year long. Although all of them were well known to her readers in 1901, some of these names are not well known today. The list includes Charles Rollo Peters, Charles Dickman, Harry Fonda, John Ivy (watercolorist), Chapell Judson, Evelyn McCormack, L. P. Latimer, Mrs. Mary Menton, Mrs. Briggs, Therese Morgan, J. Adam, Joseph Greenbaum, Theodore Wores, Amadee Joullin, and G. Cadenasso.
Miss Quimby's prose is written in the vernacular of her time, not ours, and can be an entertainingly flowery read, but is a bit too lengthy to reprint here. Here is the LINK. You may download the entire article as it appeared in print in 1901 in pdf form.
SF Call's page layout for *The Artists' Colony at Monterey* by Harriett Quimby, August 25, 1901		Miss Evelyn McCormack at work
		Studio of Chapell Judson
By featuring Evelyn McCormack, Harriet Quimby seems to have been doing her part to promote women artists, who at the time weren't able to crack into the upper echelons of the art world.
Evelyn McCormack 1869-1948	Evelyn McCormack studied art at San Francisco's School of Design with Emile Carlsen, Cecil Williams and Carl Yelland. She fell in love with fellow art student Guy Rose, accompanying him to Paris where they both studied at the Academie Julian. They both painted at Claude Monet's home in Giverny. Before the '06 quake, she maintained her second studio in Monterey. After the quake, she made her home in the Royal Hotel in Monterey and established her
	main studio on the second floor of the Monterey Customs House. Her specialty was painting the historic buildings of Monterey. She was commissioned by the City of Monterey to paint 12 of the city's historic structures. These paintings hang in the Monterey City Hall and other city buildings. When the Del Monte Gallery opened in Monterey in 1907, critics favorably compared her work to Childe Hassam and Claude Monet.	Monterey Customs House, Evelyn McCormack Private Collection
Sheep and Shepherd at Sunset, Chapell Judson 1864-1946	Home and studio of Harry Fonda	Summer cabin studio of Lorenzo Palmer Latimer
Chapell Judson 1864-1948 was an impressionist painter from Kansas City, Missouri, who studied in Munich and Paris before settling in Northern California. He married the daughter of fellow artist Sydney Yard. He taught at the Mark Hopkins Institute and helped form the art department at UC Berkeley. Harry Fonda 1864-1942 was born in Marysville. He moved to San Francisco and studied at the School of Design and in Paris at the Academie Julian. He taught art in the Monterey public schools and sold one of his paintings "House of the Four Winds" to President William McKinley.	The interior of Charles Rollo Peter's' studio
