“This exhibition celebrates the adventurous spirit of early California artists who traveled great distances—often under rugged conditions—to capture the essence of the Golden State,” said Elaine Adams, gallery director at American Legacy Fine Arts, which opens “Scenic Route: A Half-Century of California Discovery, 1900–1950” on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Adams calls the exhibition “a classic California road trip,” she told Local News Pasadena, but these artists’ journeys were far grittier than any modern highway adventure.
From 1900 to 1950, they ventured into remote areas that tested their resolve as much as their artistic skills.
The Pasadena gallery can be reached at 626-577-7733.
