  1. 'Beyond Brancusi' invites a study of sculpture's space

    Curator Leah Lehmbeck has been associated with the Norton Simon Museum for the last five years and was responsible for 2011's incisive-yet-panoramic "Proof: The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California" survey — the museum's smashing entry in the Pacific Standard Time sweepstakes.

  2. Inside the Huntington story

    "Masterpiece Theatre" has nothing on the real-life, rags-to-riches saga that led to the founding of the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino.

  3. Finding state-of-the-art tradition

    The young contemporary Japanese artists whose work is most often put before us are typically splashy and bold. Recall last year's Pacific Asia Museum show of graphic works by Gaijin Fujita, with its exploding color and colliding imagery. The new PAM exhibition by Takashi Tomo-Oka is a comparative sleeping dog, with its modest scale (just 10 pieces), subdued lighting and fairly standard plant representations. But this is one pooch you want to wake.

  4. Pulling the strings of a cultural treasure

    Pasadena is home to many museums. As a matter of fact, it probably boasts more museums per capita than any other local city of its size.

  6. Visiting Van Gogh self-portrait delights at Norton Simon unveiling

    It was a particularly lively reception Thursday evening at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. More than 600 people -- local curators and artists, media and museum members, many nibbling on bread sticks and sipping wine --  gathered to welcome a most distinguished guest: an iconic van Gogh painting on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

  7. On the Town: Fezziwig's Festive Holiday Tea at A Noise Within, Pasadena Museum of California Art celebrates the holidays

    The invitation was titled Fezziwig's Festive Holiday Tea at A Noise Within. In smaller type was the announcement of a post-tea, matinee performance of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol.” Both events could be had for $300, representing one of the Pasadena classical theater's largest fundraisers of the year.

  8. Less is more at PMCA design exhibit

    If you caught LACMA's great California design retrospective last year, “Living in a Modern Way,” you came away with the idea that Southern California was the tip of the post-World War II modernist spear. Along with the familiar names of architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler, and designers Charles and Ray Eames, the largely forgotten Greta Magnusson Grossman's inclusion offered the chance of a rediscovery.

  9. Art review: 'White on Black: The Modernist Prints of Paul Landacre'

    Nobody makes fine art engravings anymore. When the medium was prevalent, the late master Paul Landacre (1893-1963) was special and singular. The Pasadena Museum of California Art has a new show of Landacre's work from the 1930s and '40s that while modest in scale, is nonetheless potent in its totality.

  11. Norton Simon brings late Van Gogh self-portrait to California

    Right now, the most famous Van Gogh painting in a California museum happens to be one of his sunniest: <a id="PLCUL000187" class="taxInlineTagLink" title="The Getty" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/arts-culture/museums/the-getty-PLCUL000187.topic">The Getty</a> owns an exuberant field of irises that the artist painted in 1889 as a sort of postcard for his arrival at a bucolic-looking asylum in Saint R&eacute;my de Provence, France.

  12. Styles intersect in Pacific Asia Museum exhibit

    A visit to the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena proves that the cultural divide between a one-time teenage graffiti artist from East Los Angeles and a 19th century Japanese woodblock print master is narrower than you might think.
