Santa Ana’s Bowers Museum will host a major exhibition of colonial Mexican religious art, Virgin of Guadalupe, later this year. The show collects 60 works from the most important religious sites and museums in Mexico City, and will run from October 8, 2016, through January 29, 2017.
22 ARTpatronmagazine.com
Virgin of Guadalupe: Images in Colonial Mexico brings together
paintings, sculptures, engravings, silverworks, textiles, and other
devotional objects from public as well as private collections. Loaning institutions include the Museo Nacional de Arte, the Museo de la
Basilica de Guadalupe, and the Catedral Metropolitana. The Roman
Catholic Diocese of Orange will also loan an important 17th-century painting to the exhibition.
The show will be the only exhibition ever presented at a
museum in the United States devoted to the depiction of the Virgin of Guadalupe in colonial Mexican art. According to tradition, the Virgin revealed herself to Juan Diego at the Hill of Tepeyac, north of Mexico City, in 1531, and instructed him to carry a message to his bishop for the construction of a church where her compassion would come to be known. Over time, the adoration of the Virgin intertwined and
merged with diverse social and cultural manifestations. According to co-curator Mayela Flores, the show will offer “a suggestive analysis” of the story “told through a rich selection of works of art from Mexican collections.”
The Bowers Museum is located at 2002 North Main Street in
Santa Ana. For more information about the museum and upcoming exhibitions, see www.bowers.org.

Helena Modjeska and her Orange County Arden written by Peter J. Holliday
From advocates of free love to Quakers to Methodists, the spectrum of religious belief in nineteenth-century California was inclusive. Although the members of the short-lived Polish colony of artists near Anaheim (which had been founded by German émigrés in 1857) did not share a single religious faith or transcendent philosophy, they all engaged in 42 ARTpatronmagazine.com
the agricultural and literary activities favored by their famous leader, Madame Helena Modjeska (1840–1909).
Although Modjeska would become the reigning diva of the
Polish national theater, the details of her early life are vague. In her autobiography she glossed over the details of her first marriage, to her former guardian, Gustaw Zimajer. An actor
and director of a provincial theater troupe, he performed under the stage name Gustaw Modrzejewski, and his wife adopted
ARTpatronmagazine.com 43
the feminine version of this name
when she made her theatrical debut as
Helena Modrzejewska in 1861. (She later shortened and anglicized it to Modjeska,
which was easier for American audiences to pronounce.)
In 1868 the aspiring actress married
Count Karol Bozenta Chlapowski, who
was not really a count but was from the landed gentry. He was celebrated for
his role in the anti-tsarist, anti-Prussian insurrection of 1863, and as editor of
the liberal and nationalistic journal Kraj (The Country), he attracted a group of
like-minded upper-class and aristocratic reformers. Modjeska wrote that their
home “became the center of the artistic and literary world� of Poland. Writers,
politicians, artists, composers, and other actors frequented their salon. Among
them was the young Henryk Sienkiewicz, soon to earn renown for his 1895 novel of early imperial Rome, Quo Vadis?
The group shared a profound longing
for a refuge. As Modjeska recalled,
“Our friends used to talk about the new
country, the new life, new scenery, and the possibility of settling down somewhere in the land of freedom, away from the daily 44 ARTpatronmagazine.com
vexations to which each Pole was exposed in Russian or Prussian Poland.”
1967 to 2016
Sienkiewicz was the first to suggest
that they emigrate. “Little by little others
followed him,” Modjeska continued, “and soon five of them expressed the desire to
seek adventures in the jungles of the virgin land. My husband, seeing the eagerness of the young men, conceived the idea
of forming a colony in California on the
model of the Brook Farm. The project was received with acclamation.”
Arriving in Southern California in
1876, Modjeska and her husband bought a ranch where they could lead lives like
those envisioned by other émigrés from colder climes: a Virgilian existence as
enlightened gentleman farmers. Modjeska intended to abandon her theatrical career and devote herself to living “a life of toil
under the blue skies of California, among the hills, riding on horseback with a gun
over my shoulder.” As Kevin Starr wrote
in his book Inventing the Dream: California

through the Progressive Era, she “reserved for herself the especially poetic task of bleaching linen by a riverbank, like a maiden in the Iliad.”
However, the new community failed,
for the colonists could barely speak
English and knew nothing about ranching or farming. Most eventually went their
separate ways, but those who could afford it remained, hiring professionals to run
the ranch as a kind of elegant villegiatura, where they led self-consciously aesthetic lives.
Modjeska resolved to return to
the stage, and achieved great success
reprising the Shakespearean roles she
had performed in Poland. In 1885 she
bought another ranch, this one 20 miles
east of Orange in the Santiago Canyon of
the Santa Ana Mountains, an area known today as Modjeska Canyon. Captivated by the idyllic landscape, she named the
ranch Arden after the enchanted forest in
Shakespeare’s As You Like It, and engaged

LOOKING BACK
Lucille Ball
Tows Her Trailer to Laguna Beach written by Stacy Davies
50 ARTpatronmagazine.com
B

Before she became television’s favorite wacky redhead and the world’s most beloved comedic legend, Lucille Ball was a B-movie babe who couldn’t catch a break. Arriving in Hollywood in 1931 after
being booted off Broadway by Ziegfeld himself, Ball maneuvered her way into
RKO Pictures as an uncredited contract
player. She appeared in bit parts opposite the likes of the Three Stooges, Jimmy Durante, and Jean Arthur, but it was
her string of cameos in several Fred and Ginger flicks as a model, hat-check girl, and other comely scenery that allowed
Ball to fortuitously strike up a life-long friendship with starlet Ginger Rogers. Thanks to the urging of Rogers’
mother Lela, who ran acting classes at RKO in which Ball was enrolled, the starlet received her breakout roll in
1937’s lady-themed screwball Stage Door,
starring Rogers, Katharine Hepburn, and newcomers Eve Arden and Ann Miller.
But while the film was a critical hit, and Ball was finally on the radar, her brief
stint as a scene-stealing, fast-talking dame didn’t pay off.
What followed were years of
mostly low-grade vehicles, prompting Hollywood to dub Ball “Queen of the B’s”—a title previously held by Fay
Wray—and the less insulting nickname
“Technicolor Tessie,” due to her flaming red hair, now visible in color films.
Nevertheless there were a few bright
spots along the way. In 1940’s Dance,
Girl, Dance, directed by Dorothy Arzner, Ball sang undubbed and wrastled with Maureen O’Hara in a catfight that left
both actresses black and blue. In The Big ARTpatronmagazine.com 51
Street, she played a shallow snipe who
became paralyzed and was nursed by a
googly-eyed Henry Fonda (who reportedly fell in love real-life with her right then and there). And in 1947’s Lured, Ball
took an unusual turn as an undercover
agent tracking down a lady killer—with suspects including Boris Karloff. These
were dramatic parts, with wisecracking highlights, but as the years wore on, it was clear that comedy was where Ball belonged.
Teaming with Bob Hope in Sorrowful
Jones in 1949 and Fancy Pants in 1950
showcased Ball’s genius comedic timing,
flair for deadpan, and her iconic animated
gestures, and in The Fuller Brush Girl (1950), the early inklings of Lucy Ricardo can be found.
As she slogged through film after film,
Ball picked up a husband, Cuban singer
and actor Desi Arnaz, meeting him in the
RKO commissary after she and O’Hara had finished their Dance Girl brawl. Her harried look that afternoon didn’t impress Arnaz
at first sight, but the two were soon cooing, and after sharing the screen in Too Many 52 ARTpatronmagazine.com

Girls (1940), they married. Arnaz’s film
career was merely a blip, however. There
was only room for one Latino star at a time in Hollywood and Ricardo Montalbán was the new industry favorite. This sent Arnaz
back on the road, leaving Ball stuck on sets of forgettable films, and the marriage was soon on the rocks.
To supplement their income, Ball
began taking radio work, and in 1948
found success as screwy wife Liz Cooper on My Favorite Husband at CBS. When
the show ended in 1951, Arnaz and Ball
pitched the station a sitcom with a similar flair, titled I Love Lucy and costarring
Desi, but CBS declined, fearing audiences
weren’t ready for an interracial TV couple. Refusing to take no for an answer,
Arnaz and Ball went on the road as a
vaudevillian act, booking “Ricky and
Lucy” as a pre-show at movie theatres across the nation, and they were so popular that CBS finally relented.
(The “seal” skit that appeared in the
Lucy pilot was straight from these live performances.)
It was two years into I Love Lucy
when Arnaz coaxed Ball into returning
to the big screen. The couple had formed
their own production company, Desilu, in 1950, and now partnered with producer
Pandro Berman, who’d secured the rights
to Clinton Twiss’ comedic novel The Long, Long Trailer. Retooling the story for Arnaz 54 ARTpatronmagazine.com
ARTpatronmagazine.com 55
and Ball, Desilu hired Vincente Minnelli to direct, but parent company MGM feared
the film would flop since audiences could already see the couple on TV for free.
Arnaz then made a wager with the studio, betting that if Trailer didn’t beat MGM’s
biggest hit to date, Father of the Bride, the couple would refund $50,000 of their
$250,000 contract. But if it did beat, Arnaz and Ball would be paid an additional 50 grand on their contract. MGM took the bet.
Chronicling the misadventures of
newlyweds Nicky and Tacy Collini, who purchase a 36-foot trailer so they can be together while Nicky travels across the
country for engineering jobs, Trailer was shot in six weeks in various California
locations, including the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, Palm Springs, Yosemite, and Laguna Beach.
The clifftop Treasure Island mobile
home park is the couple’s first stop on their perilous adventure, as well as
the point where they run into comedy
doyenne Marjorie Main. And while the “Breezy Bay” lot itself is a studio set,
there’s some nice rear-screen projection of the Laguna coastline and a wide
establishing shot of the Treasure Island
locale filled with (now) vintage trailers. Shot on a budget of $1.5 million
during the I Love Lucy summer hiatus, Trailer grossed $4.9 million at the box office—beating the North American
receipts for Father of the Bride by $1 million and winning Arnaz his studio bet. Critics gave the film a lukewarm reception, but fans didn’t care, filling theatres to get as
much of their beloved TV couple as they could. There was even a brief duet that
proved, when necessary, Lucille Ball really could carry a tune. Artistic mediocrity
notwithstanding, Trailer remains a cult
favorite of Lucy lovers, and while she may have stumbled into Hollywood and been criminally undervalued, the Technicolor Tessie finally showed Hollywood
filmmakers that she was, indeed, Queen of the Screen. 56 ARTpatronmagazine.com

When Swedish contemporary artist Margareta Gelles was on vacation with her husband in Orange County last year, she made a stop in Laguna Beach to visit some galleries. And, as luck would have it, she found herself in Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art (LGOCA). Gelles made an immediate connection. LGOCA is a gallery in which every exhibiting
artist is also a humanitarian in his or her own right. Gelles, incidentally, is passionate about
working with children. She is a regular volunteer at a children’s hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.
According to the gallery director, it was Gelles’ 60 ARTpatronmagazine.com
husband who announced that his wife was an artist. And when the Gallery Director saw the
Swedish artist’s work, she recognized that it would be a good fit for LGOCA.
“For me to work with a gallery in Laguna feels
good, since I spent much time in the area,” Gelles
says.” I like LGOCA because they are serious and
also for their work in the field of doing good,” she adds.
Today two large-scale mixed-media paintings
greet guests of the gallery, and though upon first glance they appear whimsical and playful—
depicting cartoon-like characters and images
reminiscent of Disney World—they contain a deeper message.
Babe, which Gelles created using house paint,

girl in a pink dress sitting upright in a chair, gazing out at
viewers, surrounded by bright colors and images of animals. The gallery was unable to translate the Swedish text
until another set of Swedish guests ventured into the gallery one day and saw the painting. The text can be translated
loosely as, “The older I get, the less I know … that intuition is questioned—don’t think you know everything,” and
lends itself to a deeper philosophical questioning, in contrast with the seemingly childlike image.
Gelles says that she draws inspiration mainly from
But one aspect that is clear in Gelles’ work is the appeal
of a child’s perspective, and of the freedom that can be
found in innocence. In Sit Down—which is displayed next
to Babe at LGOCA—the artist has embedded the following text: “Our desire to be liberated from limitations and from outside force can only be satisfied if we reach past time.”
The piece features what can be interpreted as a cartoonlike adult, looking upward on the left, and child, casting sad
eyes downward, next to what appears is a time-out chair below the titular text, “sit down.”
Not surprisingly, when asked to describe her aesthetic

Frank Cuprien and the Sea written by Grove Koger
A
Among the painters who helped create Laguna Beach’s art colony, the name of Frank Cuprien holds a prominent place, but in the years since his death in 1948 he’s gotten little attention. That’s a pity, because Cuprien played a key role in the community’s early artistic life and became the foremost champion of its spectacular coastline.

Cuprien was born on the other side of the continent in
Brooklyn in 1871 and attended classes at the Art Students
League of New York and the Cooper Union Institute before
studying under landscape painter Carl Weber in Philadelphia. Details are sketchy, but a more important Philly influence seems to have been marine artist William Trost Richards. Like many an American artist-to-be, Cuprien then
moved abroad—in this case for 11 years—to absorb what the Old World had to offer. His pilgrimage took him to Athens,
Rome, Florence, and Paris, in the last of which he studied at

months painting on Catalina Island during the same period, but in 1914 he became one of the first artists to settle in Laguna. In
celebration of his time at sea, he called his home—which stood on a bluff overlooking the Pacific near Bluebird Canyon—the Viking House.
Cuprien established a roundtable at the Sandwich Mill, at
the corner of Forest Avenue and Coast Highway, where he and
fellow artists could gather to talk shop. More importantly, he also helped the community turn an abandoned house into its first
gallery. “In the summer of 1918,” he would recall, “we fixed up the Académie Julian, the school that had also attracted fellow
Americans Guy Rose and Granville Redmond. But Cuprien also
excelled in music, studying voice and piano and graduating from Leipzig’s Hochschule für Musik und Theater in 1905. Along the
way, the multi-talented vagabond even shipped as a seaman on a trawler out of Hamburg.
Returning to the States, Cuprien taught at Baylor University
in Texas for five years before moving on to Southern California in 1910. He visited Laguna Beach for the first time in 1912,
planning, as he later wrote, to investigate the community he had been hearing so much about. “Reports of its charm had
not been exaggerated, I decided that day.” Cuprien spent a few

owner] Nick Isch. First we drove the bats out of the building and built a skylight in the roof. We whitewashed the walls and oiled the old floors. Later on we had a sewing bee, with all the ladies of the town present, and covered the walls with burlap.” The
gallery opened in late July, and the following month, with the
support of more than one hundred patrons, the artists founded the Laguna Beach Art Association.
“Everybody realized that the Gallery was the cultural center
of the community,” Cuprien explained, but his subsequent
comments remind us of just what the community was like in those early days. “Every Saturday night was Open House at

On cold nights they brought their own oil stoves. Even on the stormiest of nights a
few of us plowed through the mud … and
kept the Gallery going … [W]e knew what it would mean to the future of the town.”
But above and beyond his sense of civic
responsibility, Cuprien was in love with the
sea that washed Laguna’s shores, recreating
its moods in painting after painting. He was particularly good at capturing the play of
hazy sunlight on the water. A contemporary critic pointed out that Cuprien “loves to
paint a slow incoming tide with a subdued illumination of the sun, or the softness of the after-glow on the ocean at dusk.”
Visitors frequently named Cuprien the
most popular painter in the art association gallery, and when President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt’s motorcade passed
through Laguna in 1938, he was presented with one of Cuprien’s seascapes.

Talented as he was, however,
Cuprien wasn’t a technical trailblazer like some of his colleagues.
Nevertheless, he seemed to delight
in playing the role of the bohemian painter. A photograph taken by
Edward W. Cochems and now held by the UC Irvine library shows the bearded Cuprien be-smocked and be-capped, standing on a hillside
overlooking the surf, palette in one hand and brush in the other as he
contemplates his canvas. In town,
he sported knickers and puttees and belted jackets.
By the time of his death in 1948,
Cuprien had become known as the
Dean of Laguna Beach artists, and he
left his house and the rest of his estate
to the group that he had nurtured and that had nurtured him in turn.

The most renowned female artist in Southern California during
the 1940s was Mary Blair. Besides
working on animated features for the Disney studios, she painted
watercolors in her spare time, and these personal artworks became part of a movement known as California Scene Painting.
With its perfect climate, scenic beauty
and growing opportunities in tourism and the burgeoning film industry, Southern
California was truly a golden place when Blair began her career. It was within this
idyllic setting that the movement was born. American Scene Painting, the realistic
art style that gave rise to the California
variety, was popular in the early to mid-20th century. Artists in this movement depicted landscapes, urban settings and the daily lives of people at work and at play. Not
surprisingly, the movement’s artists were mostly men and included Thomas Hart
Benton, John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood. During the same period, “Los Angeles
probably had more artists working than
in any city in the world,” explains Mark Hilbert, founder of the recently opened
Hilbert Museum of California Art in the Old Towne neighborhood of Orange. “Movie
studios were voraciously hiring artists for set design, backdrops, animation, poster design and advertising.” And among these hired
artists, there were several women. Moreover, California, with its egalitarian perspective
generally regarded the work of female artists as equal to that of men.
The Hilbert Museum owns paintings
by several dozen of these women artists,
and this summer, many of these empathetic and technically proficient pieces will be on exhibit in their full glory. They reflect the
museum’s mission, which is to present works of California Scene Painting and other styles of California representational art with their
depictions of everyday life in the city, in the countryside and along the coast.
Blair (1911-1978) is one of the artists that
the Hilbert will be exhibiting this summer. She grew up in California, attended the
Chouinard Art Institute here, married artist Lee Blair and began working for Disney in
1940. She did preparatory work for Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Fantasia and other
features, often on location. And while at
these sites, Blair painted her own works. An example of this kind of effort is her
expressive oil The Circus, which she painted
at an arena as she prepared scenes for Dumbo.
And as Disney’s favorite artist, she later
created Disneyland’s It’s a Small World ride. Writer/curator Susan M. Anderson
describes the style used by Blair and her fellow artists. “The Disney cartoons and the California School watercolors share
formal features,” she writes in American

Sylvia Binkley Sylvia Binkley is a recent Laguna Woods transplant
by way of Los Angeles, as well as a jewelry artist who specializes in custom-made products for her creative company LiquidSky Jewelry.
LBAM: Sylvia, your work is highly regarded for being
uniquely crafted in cut, color and design. Can you
describe what inspires your choices in these regards?

distinctly different disciplines in jewelry making. I’m

method of creation is giving you the most joy to work with right now?
SB: It’s hard to choose one; I always feel most creative
when going back and forth from one to another. My favorites continue to be stone-carving, intarsia and wire-weaving—and I love incorporating several
different styles into one piece, such as a carved face
set in a wire-weave, or an intarsia set in a fabricated
bracelet. I work in both silver and copper, but recently
have just discovered Argentium silver, which is similar to sterling, but much, much easier to work with.
LBAM: You put a lot of thought into your creations before

extremely drawn to heady wire weaving. I learned the basics of jewelry intarsia from a wonderful instructor,
Anthony Chavez, at Venice Vocational Adult Education, and I continue to improve under the tutelage of Connie Grundke in classes at Saddleback College Emeritus
Institute. I prefer the simplest overall design possible, and I love all of the green, green/blue, and purple tones.
LBAM: As mentioned, you often work with jewelry
through a variety of methods, including intarsia,
stone-carving, wire-weaving and working with natural materials such as chalcedony and sugilite stones. What

SB: Always, my first step is detailed imagery. I have a
knack for creating mental images, so that’s my comfort zone for designing. When I can’t sleep, I lie in bed and mentally design jewelry, then I’ll inwardly go through
the process of creating it. That’s surprisingly rewarding, because I discover things that won’t work way before I
find out at the workbench! And if I do get stuck, I have a discussion with my fellow jewelry artists, as well
as with my husband, James, a talented painter, about
possible solutions, and I always get some fresh ideas. You can find Sylvia Binkley at booth B12 at this year’s Art-A-Fair.

Unruly Nature: The Landscapes of Théodore Rousseau

Bringing together about seventy-five paintings and drawings, this international loan exhibition explores the astonishing technical and stylistic variety of his work, revealing him to be one of the most exciting, experimental, and affecting artists of his day. www.getty.edu thru Sep. 15

London Calling: Bacon, Freud, Kossoff, Andrews, Auerbach, and Kitaj
Between the 1940s and 1980s, when contemporary art was dominated by abstraction, conceptualism, and minimalism, a group of painters in London doggedly pursued the depiction of the human figure and everyday landscape, forging startling new approaches and styles. Drawn largely from the unrivaled holdings of the Tate in London, this is the first major exhibition in the U.S. to consider the work of six of the leaders of this “School of London” Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff, Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, and R. B. Kitaj ? collectively, providing a timely reassessment of their extraordinary achievement.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents one of the finest existing collections of Chinese paintings in the United States, formed over a period of 50 years by the late San Francisco Bay Area collector and dealer Jung Ying Tsao (1923–2011). The 17th century witnessed the fall of the Chinese-ruled Ming dynasty (1368–1644), the founding of the Manchu-ruled Qing dynasty (1644–1911), and was one of the most turbulent and creative eras in the history of Chinese art. Alternative Dreams presents work by over 80 artists, many of whom are the most famous painters of this period—including scholars, officials, and Buddhist monks. www.lacma.org
