Greetings from Happy Valley!

I'm writing to invite you to attend the Opening Reception for two exhibitions on:

Saturday, November 17, 2012
2 - 5 pm

The exhibitions will be presented through January 13, 2013. If you're unable to attend the reception or visit the Center over the next six weeks, we'll be presenting these wonderful exhibitions online.

Paintings:
Gui Ignon with Arthur Hughes

November 17, 2012 - January 13, 2013

We are pleased to be presenting a retrospective exhibition of works
by Gui Ignon in conjunction with an exhibition of work by one of his students, Arthur Hughes

Paintings by Gui Ignon

Gui Ignon (1897-1963) drew upon a vast array of influences from formal training in Paris during the heady days following WWI, to the struggling people he met hitchhiking across the U.S. during the Great Depression, from his friendships with leading philosophers and artists, to his time as a POW in a German prison camp - to create an enduring and vibrant body of work. His oil paintings and charcoal sketches are marked by his natural gift for color, carefully honed technique, and unblinking exploration of intellectually and spiritually challenging themes.

To learn more about Gui Ignon and view works in the exhibition online, click here.

 

Paintings by Arthur Hughes

Arthur Hughes was raised in Ojai, where he was exposed early in life to artists Gui Ignon, Beatrice Wood, Gerd and Irene Koch, Alice DeCreeft, and Liam O'Gallagher, as well as the art dealer James Vigeveno. Studying with Gui Ignon and Gerd Koch had an early impact on the artist, who today lives and exhibits his work in New York City.
