PVAC:
A Center of
Activity!
Who
Doesn’t Like
Butterflies?
-By Joe Baker
Visual culture is broad, but put simply, the Palos Verdes
Art Center will be taking a multi-disciplinary approach that
explores the fluidity between these disciplines. Documenting
the present, looking toward the future, and evaluating the
past—all from our vantage point of a newly envisioned Palos
Verdes Art Center—where the distinctions between creative
practices have historically been celebrated. Walking through
exhibition galleries and studios you will encounter spaces
that educate, intrigue, and stimulate new strategies for creative exploration. Scott Canty’s Encore exhibit will assume
center stage in the Yassin and Norris galleries opening July 12.
Featuring Los Angeles-based artists who practice outside of
the boundaries of traditional painting, this exhibit will capture
our imaginations. Look for playful riffs on fashion design as
we pay tribute to the fashion icon, Lilly Pulitzer, in the Loving
Lilly. Opening August 9 and featuring a special Lilly Luncheon
on September 21, PVAC welcomes Dama Tequila as a sponsor
for both Pulitzer events. This Los Angeles-based small-batch
tequila company is run by women for women and is the perfect
compliment to Lilly Pulitzer. More than just the woman who
created the fashion empire that bears her name, Lilly Pulitzer
exemplifies an attitude, a casual sort of elegance, a style that
embodies gusto, generosity, and a neverending sense of fun.
In October, we take an exclusive look at man’s special
relationship to dogs in the I Love My Dog exhibition opening
October 11. In this exhibit we have paired historical works
with contemporary ones to suggest how our attitudes toward
dogs have changed, or not, over the past 200 years, and how
these changes are reflected in artistic activity. PVAC is pleased
to exhibit important paintings from the 19th and 20th century included in the collection of the American Kennel Club
Museum of the Dog. Organized by Barb McNabe, Director of
the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog, these masterworks depict the important role the dog has played in
human history serving as hunter, guardian, companion, and
friend. Contemporary artists include William Wegman, Siri
Devi Khandavilli, and a series of design-built architectural
dog houses, including one designed by Frank Lloyd Wright,
and architects and student collectives from the region’s most
accomplished designers.
Whatever your vantage point, we hope Palos Verdes Art
Center adds another dimension to your world. PVAC: A center
of ACTIVITY!
-By Nancy Cumming
“Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting
us stretch and grow and reach new heights.” —Pauline Kezer
This quote from Ms. Kezer resonates with me because of the
wonderful new possibilities of the Palos Verdes Art Center.
As we move back to our beautifully re-designed space, we will
have the opportunity to exercise our artistic ability to think
outside the box—looking to do business in a new way.
PVAC will continue offering outstanding exhibitions and
educational programming, plus add a few new events such as
art after work—a fun way to end your day—movie screenings,
and yappy hour (yep, bring your dog)!
One of the definitive things we were looking for on the
Executive Director Search Committee was someone who
possesses a depth of experience with many sizes and
functions of art centers/museums, and who could bring
“fresh eyes” to our operations. We found just such a person
in Joe Baker. Joe has great enthusiasm and excitement about
his ideas to raise awareness of the Art Center through new
interactive exhibitions involving the entire community, new
outreach programs to aid the underserved in our area, and
multiple partnerships/sponsorships that will bring muchdeserved publicity to show the value of the Art Center. We
look forward to introducing Joe Baker, PVAC’s new executive
director, as he unveils the new Palos Verdes Art Center’s
innovative schedule of events to the community.
So let’s buckle our seat belt, and ride the wave together
into the future. We hope that you all get involved, become
members, volunteer, or just enjoy the programs.
“If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies.”

groovy 1970s pantsuits, this exhibition
and even a wild sequined-and-feathered costume that Lilly herself wore to
her son’s birthday party.
In the late 1950s, being young,
good-looking, and uninterested, Lilly
kept busy by selling oranges and
grapefruits from her husband’s groves.
By the day’s end, her clothing was
stained in pulp and juice. To help hide
the stains, Pulitzer created a colorful
shift dress. From there the Lilly dress
was born. The initial style of the Lilly
designs were simple shift dresses that
appealed to a wealthy client base that included Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the
Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Whitneys. The dresses originally sold for $22 and
were the newest symbol of old money. Soon, the whimsical and whacky patterns
and kaleidoscopic colors made their way onto men’s clothes, children’s wear,
accessories, shoes, stationery, bedding, and bridal.

I Love My Dog
, Manhattan Beach.
I Love My Dog is borrowed from a song written by
Cat Stevens included in his debut album, Matthew
and Son, 1966. The lyrics best describe that special
relationship between man and dog. The domesticated
dog is so deeply intertwined in our lives it is only
natural that they have also found their way into our
arts practice. This exhibit examines a variety of ways
that artists have brought the depiction of the dog to
the art world. In I Love My Dog we have paired historical works with contemporary ones to suggest how our
attitudes towards dogs have changed, or not, over the
past 200 years, and how these changes are reflected
in artistic activity.
Included in this exhibition are important paintings from the 19th and 20th century from the collection of the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog.
Contemporary artists include William Wegman, Siri
Devi Khandavilli, and a series of design-build architectural dog houses from architects and student collectives from the area’s most accomplished designers.

Faces of
Cubism
In this colorful project, students will learn
how African tribal sculptures and masks
inspired Pablo Picasso and significantly influenced the origination of Cubism.
Students will create a vibrant Cubist-style
face using line, shape, pattern, and color.
Project Created by Stephanie Kohler
Wright’s
Windows
Students will learn about iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his Prairie
Style architecture and art glass designs.
Using plastic, mod podge, tissue paper
and Sharpie®, children will create their
own faux-leaded-glass window, inspired
by Wright’s delightful Coonley Playhouse
windows.
Project Created by Annemarie Wargin
Golden Icon
In this three-dimensional project, students
will be introduced to the rich history of
Egypt and its ancient writing system. They
will create their own version of hieroglyphs
on a ceramic tile by molding clay into
a low-relief sculpture and adding paint
to create the look of an ancient artifact.
Project Created by Lee-Jean Lin
Japonisme
Plum Tree
Students will learn how the opening of
Japanese trade to the West after 200
years of seclusion changed European
art in the mid-nineteenth century. With
this project, inspired by Japanese Master
Utagawa Hiroshige and European PostImpressionist Vincent Van Gogh, they will
understand how art connects and influences cultures by drawing a plum tree in
the Ukiyo-e style using oil pastels on black
paper. Project Created by Erin Eitter Kono
Still Life
in Lines
In this fundamental drawing project, students will learn the history of pen and ink
drawing, which spans many cultures over
many centuries. Using a variety of techniques, they will create a still-life drawing,
adding shadows by varying line style and
using oil pastels to add interest with a
punch of color.
Project Created by CeCe Nahin
