the
SHAPING SCENE: Bridging Southern California Art Communities with Education, Opportunity and Art By Evan Senn In a creative mecca like Southern California, art is everywhere, but sadly, art education is not always available, even in an artistic hub like Los Angeles. With colleges and universities becoming more competitive each year, teenagers need to take a heavier hand in crafting their artistic skills much earlier. There are a number of ways young people are able to educate themselves, but there are few organizations that take that responsibility on as their own, to help the struggling youth of this area get quality art education before college. One such organization, taking the time and energy to educate young artists on the techniques and skills they will need to succeed as creative professionals in today’s society is Ryman Arts. This year, Ryman Arts is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and has served 6,000 talented youth in its core program and many thousands more in outreach. In celebration of their 25th anniversary, Laguna Beach art gallery Salt Fine Art presented a Ryman Arts exclusive juried Founded in 1990, Ryman Arts offers intensive studio classes taught by master teaching artists, college and career planning, field trips, support services, and community engagement opportunities to artistic high school students, free of charge to the students. In 2013, Ryman Arts was named a 2013 National Program of Excellence by the president’s Committee for the Arts & Humanities. Also in 2013, Ryman expanded to a second campus at California State University, Fullerton, in an effort to harness the talent and promise of SoCal youth who might not have access to quality, advanced art education. They help students with college portfolio preparation and review, paid internships in creative industries in Southern California, and even help qualified students get scholarships every year. They have increased their outreach through the Drawing More to Art initiative and present “The Big Draw LA” event every year.
exhibition, specifically for Ryman alumni, helping give extra exposure and attention to the talented up-and-coming artists Ryman has helped create.

Over the past 25 years, Ryman Arts has engaged over 6,000 Southern California teens in core programs and provided outreach activities to more than 18,000 inner city students. Almost all graduates go on to college, many alumni work in the creative industries, and all are poised for personal success. From a single drawing class for 12 students in 1990, Ryman
Since their expansion into the OC, Ryman has partnered with a number of reputable art establishments to highlight their young artists, and encourage facilitation and outreach with other art organizations, including Grand Central Art Center, Sue Greenwood Fine Art and Salt Fine Art and its new emerging-art addition RAWsalt, among many others. The Ryman Arts exclusive juried exhibition at RAWsalt and Salt Fine Art in Laguna Beach featured 11 artists that shined among the 42 other artists who submitted work. The exhibition, “BACK TO SCHOOL,” also offered a grand prize of a solo exhibition to two ex-
ceptional artists from the exhibit, in 2016. Artists Sally Deng and Oscar Magallanes were the winners for the solo shows, and additionally, Oscar has been offered further representation by Salt. Oscar’s work is dark and spiritual, mixing folk imagery with traditional Chicano iconography and adding his own personal reflective flare. Heavily based in painting, drawing and installation, Oscar envelops the viewer with his work, transcending the walls and engaging multiple levels of imagination, creativity and social awareness and experience. Heavily influenced by the cultural and social elements of his upbringing in Azusa, and after a troubled youth and his expulsion from high school at the age of fifteen, Oscar was accepted into the Ryman Arts program which he credits with encouraging him to pursue a career in art. continued on pg. 24

Arts has grown to 40 classes for 600 students annually. On average, over 96 percent of Ryman graduates are accepted to colleges, universities or professional schools. Over 80 percent of the Ryman students live in low-income areas and attend public schools that do not have great art education programs, if any.

SHAPING SCENE:
CONTEMPORARYOC 24
Since Ryman, Oscar has continued pursuing his art career, and has honed his skills to a fine point of graphic, dark and melancholy expression. In his installation for this exhibit, The Education of Remus and Romulus, Oscar explores the Roman mythology of the Founders of Rome, Remus and Romulus, the twin brothers, born of Rhea Sylvia and Mars, and raised in the wild, with the help of their wolf nurse. Finding personal insight into his own upbringing and Southern California Chicano culture, Oscar created a kind of altarinspired scene, with a transparent crowned mother wolf, two baby wolf cubs, and a Chicana looking goddess above them all, also transparent and crowned, seemingly offering flowers and guidance. The well known story and hypnotic visuals of his installation lead you to feel embedded in the narrative, and give you insight into the possible relevance for the artist, seeing parallels in his own personal narative. Sally Deng is a mixed media artist. Her work has a wide range of styles and expressions, but often plays on a feeling of duality and reflection. Pushing and pulling opposing images, concepts, and feelings, Sally’s work feels heavy with emotion, even in the coldest of compositions. She grew up in downtown Los Angeles, often visiting her family in China, Sally enjoyed playing in the back room of her family restaurant, and she spent her time exploring the busy villages and open-air markets when she visited rural China. Inspired by just about everything, Sally uses any media necessary to find the perfect expression for her unique works of art. Companions Before and After stands out as a fascinating personal commentary on relationships, and finds some contemporary relevance in the refugee crisis in Syria as well. Floating among a hoard of swimming dogs, a naked human lies in the water, being carried by the current of the dogs. In the background, a blacked out moon and a

full moon give us the sense of time passing, offering insight into the length of the journey being expressed. Both artists, raised in the Los Angeles area, are also children of immigrant families, rich with personal struggles with identity, displacement, multi-cultural exploration and have found their own personal voice through their art, and art education. Oscar is an active participant in the Pomona art scene, and worked with Gilbert “Magu” Lujan before his death, assisting in the “Mental Menudos” that Magu organized at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Los Angeles. Deng is currently getting her BFA at Art Center. The outreach of Ryman Arts is no surprise, as they have been making a difference in artists’ lives and art communities in Southern California for decades now. But, what is surprising is the active role a Laguna Beach art gallery is taking in the program as well. Salt has been showing new contemporary artists from all over the world for over six years, originally focusing solely on Latin American artists. But this year, with the expansion of Salt to include a second exhibition space, RAWsalt, they have expanded their focus to include emerging artists from all over the world. Salt has also been hosting an annual art auction for five years now, auctioning off some of their most sought after artists’ work at heavily discounted rates, and giving one hundred percent of the proceeds to non-profits. The first two years, it benefited Growers First, a locally run charity that helps independent coffee growers in Latin America, but for the past three years the auction has benefited the growing Ryman Arts Foundation. Many of the artists that RAWsalt highlights have never been seen in the Laguna Beach area before, and are getting a chance to be seen by collectors and art lovers for the first time. Salt and RAWsalt are not only changing the artistic landscape of Laguna Beach and Orange County, but are selecting talented individuals out of the crowd to highlight, helping jumpstart their career, and help others see the potential that these young artists have. In such a vibrant, affluent and active art community like Southern California, and specifically, Laguna Beach, Salt’s commitment to Ryman is just one of many, but is also a beneficial way that the art community has found to engage its youth, local talent, and helping to shape the future of our own art scene, and the betterment of future generations of artists. www.rymanarts.org, www.saltfineart.net

Michael Obermeyer
eginning in the early 1900s, artists from around the world came to Laguna Beach inspired by the beauty and light of this coastal community that has since become a mecca for creative individuals of every persuasion. Since that time, this seaside village has acquired a historical significance in the art world that has stood the test of time and includes some of the most influential painters in American art. Indicative of this influence are the early impressionist painters whose work has become the cornerstone of the plein air

In 1996, a small group of visionary artists formed the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association with the singular mission to preserve the historic legacy of this art colony, and to promote the plein air movement with world class exhibitions and educational programs that support today’s artist members and the community. LPAPA, now a non-profit art organization, stages an annual 9-day event that showcases the nation’s top plein air painters who compete for prestigious prizes and participate in week-long festivities that include public paint outs around town, painting demonstrations, lectures, and youth oriented educational events. The culmination of the week’s events is the Collector’s Soirée, a highly anticipated gala where

attendees see the original masterpieces for the first time, and are presented with an evening of entertainment along with the awards ceremony. Closing out the weekend is a two day exhibition with free admission to the general public. ince it’s inception, LPAPA has grown into a national arts organization with over 350 artist members, and the annual plein air event is now considered the best of its kind on the west coast. Contemporary artists who participate are now carrying on the legacy of such famous Laguna painters as William Wendt, Anna Hills, Frank Cuprien and Edgar Payne. Established Signature Artists like Michael Situ, Debra Huse, Michael Obermeyer, and many others, along with new entrants Cindy Baron, Michael Clements and Bill Davidson will all be included in this year’s roster. All of our artists are continuing on with the tradition that has made Laguna Beach what it is today.

MUSEUMS
The Broad Opens in Downtown LA
O
By Joy Shannon
Opening its doors to the public on September 20th, downtown Los Angeles' new museum of contemporary art, the Broad, brings fresh innovation to the downtown skyline. Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, this remarkable building houses the nearly 2,000-piece postwar and contemporary art collection of Eli and Edythe Broad. Including pieces from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, Cy Twombly, Ed Ruscha, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Christopher Wool, Jeff Koons, Joseph Beuys, Jasper Johns, Cindy Sherman, Robert Rauschenberg, and many others, The Broad is a beautiful addition to downtown's Grand Avenue, neighboring the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Colburn School and MOCA.

The building itself, lovingly called "the veil and the vault," is an inventive piece of contemporary architecture, built to house 35,000 square feet of column-free gallery space which sits atop the collection storage. The storage has cleverly not been hidden away in the bowels of the building, but instead enjoys a central role in the visitor experience. Visitors can view the storage through windows, as they pass up through the curvaceous, sculptural mass of the storage area, on their way to the upper galleries, lit by skylights. Of the concept behind the building project, architect Elizabeth Diller states, "We were totally taken by the paradox of contributing somehow to downtown L.A. and its urban aspira-
tions while designing, basically, a storage facility." The Broad's central vault is draped on all four sides by the "veil," a honeycomb-like structure made primarily of 2500 glass fiber reinforced concrete panels and 650 tons of steel, which provides diffused natural light. The skylights were extensively designed to "make sure direct sunlight wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to hit any artworks," architect Diller explained. The veil structure facing Grand Avenue includes a dramatic curved indention called the "oculus," which creates a central focus in the unique design.

When considering how this building would aesthetically interact with its famous neighbor, Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, architect Elizabeth Diller remarked, "We wanted to be a good neighbor. The concert hall is so exuberant, so maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more humble and simContinued on page 50

pler. Our curves would be on the inside, in the lobby, rather than on the exterior. Disney Hall is shiny and reflects light, while ours is matte and absorbs light via the veil, like a sponge." Diller reflected on the intention behind the project, "I’m not so presumptuous to say we made an icon, and it was never intended as that. It’s a building — a building with certain features that we’re proud of. It has a considerable amount of experimentation: We engineered it to not have columns, to have skylights, and it has the poetic dynamics of the outer veil and the vault. I hope that’s appreciated by others."
While it took nearly seven years to realize this immense project, it seems this ambitious and experimental building vastly pleased it's approximately 3,000 visitors on its opening Sunday. The excitement around its unveiling helps to affirm Eli Broad's hope for the museum to make downtown's Grand Avenue area a premier art destination. The Broad collection continues to host an ever-expanding representation of younger contemporary artists, which, now with its stunning, cutting-edge new home, seems set to be a pillar in making contemporary art accessible and exciting to the public. www.thebroad.org.

Gustave Eiffel:
Towering Ahead of his Time by Joy Shannon
new construction material could not only be strong but beautiful. Eiffel transformed the Parisian skyline with his iron Eiffel Tower, built as a temporary structure for the 1889 World's Fair. His tower endured much protest, but eventually won over hearts and minds and deeply impacted the next century to come. Eiffel's innovative engineering ideas would go on to influence the skyscrapers of the twentieth century, and, arguably, much other creativity, such as the art of the Futurists and Cubists.
Gustave Eiffel, c. 1888

In 1889, at a time when metal construction was relatively new and reserved primarily for bridges, Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel showed the world that this

LOCALARTS.COM
The earliest iron bridge was built in 1779 in England and over the course of the 1800s, metalwork was continually being developed as a construction material. Meanwhile, in cities such as Paris, traditional masonry construction was still considered the standard of beauty. In Eiffel's early engineering of various bridges including the 1876 Ponte Maria Pia Bridge and the 1884 Garabit viaduct, he showed that metalwork could be used to build substantial, long-lasting and innovative structures. Additionally in 1879, when the chief en-
gineer for the US-bound Statue of Liberty died, Eiffel was hired to create the metal interior support system for the statue. His clever design allowed for an observation deck to be featured inside, which was not logistically possible with the original plan before Eiffel was brought onto the project. With the building of the Eiffel Tower, Eiffel's new ideas came up against the current standards of architectural beauty and it took years for Parisians to view the structure as a work of art. During the Eiffel Tower's controversial beginnings, a letter in the newspaper Le Temps declared: "We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection…of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower…" Eiffel defended the aesthetics of his structure, stating: "Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren't the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony?” At 984 feet tall and built in only about two years, Eiffel's tower utilized an continued on pg. 62

"We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection…of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower…To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years…we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal."

innovative joining system for the metal girders which was completed during the pre-fabrication phase. This system was invented by Romanian engineer Gheorghe Pănculescu, whom Eiffel had employed at his engineering company. Due to employing pre-fabrication, the tower could be built and dismantled in remarkably fast times, a concept which would influence much building afterwards. Seemingly always ahead of his time, Eiffel also began to use the Eiffel Tower to delve into his other interests in meteorology and aerodynamics. He conducted experiments in aerodynamics in the tower, the results of which he published in several books including Resistance of the Air and Aviation. His ideas would go on to influences early aviators, including the Wright brothers. By 1909, when the Eiffel Tower was slated for demolition, it remained, to be utilized by a growing

new technology: as a radio tower. It held the longest record for the tallest man-made structure in the world until 1930, when the Chrysler building was finished in New York City. Swiftly building after building, including 1931's Empire State building, were built taller and taller, employing steel construction, influenced by such early innovators like Eiffel. The times and twentieth century tastes were catching up with Eiffel's engineering ideas. Over the years, as the cultural ideal of architectural beauty shifted with the inventive new century, the Eiffel Tower became associated with the beauty, elegance and romance of Paris. As recently as 1989, Eiffel's legacy was still on the cutting-edge of construction. The company he created, known now as Eiffage Construction Métalliques, helped to build the famous pyramid at the Louvre, designed by I. M. Pei. ✑

Independent Visions: Women Artists of California 1880-1940, on display through January 21, 2016, highlights a wide variety of artistic styles, The works vary from classically-inspired portraits and still-lifes, to bold Modernist paintings that document the progressive trends of women painters. Far from being limited to a dilettante role, women artists in California were important figures in early California art during the late 19th and early part of the 20th century. They excelled in landscape painting, as well as portrait, figural, and still-life. The central attraction in Independent Visions is a 7 feet by 26 feet mural by Jessie Arms Botke (1883-1971), a gift to the Museum from The Oaks at Ojai, for which the mural was painted in 1953. It represents a scene in the Everglades, full of exotic birds and plants, (see below). Free admission. www.irvinemuseum.org
