SUMMARY:Frank Lloyd Wright's Love Affair with Japan
DESCRIPTION:The Stanton Center Announces Fall Lecture Frank Lloyd Wright’s Love Affair with JapanBy Kathryn Smith October 20\, 2024 4 pm \n\n\n\nThe Stanton Center is proud to announce Kathryn Smith\, nationally recognized Frank Lloyd Wright authority\, lecturing on “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Love Affair with Japan\,” October 20\, 2024\, 4 pm\, at Stanton Center\, 5 Custom House Plaza\, Monterey\, California.  \n\n\n\nThe fully illustrated lecture\, sponsored by Monterey Area Architectural Research Archives (MAARA)\, will be followed by a book signing and reception with the speaker.  \n\n\n\nTickets are $15 at the door. Paid parking lot nearby.  \n\n\n\nWright had a fascination with Japanese art all his life\, viewing it as a tourist\, as a collector\, and sometimes as a dealer. Wright is best known as the architect of the Imperial Hotel\, Tokyo\, which survived one of the biggest earthquakes in Japanese history\, virtually undamaged\, on its opening day\, September I\, 1923. Smith will offer insights into how Wright was chosen as architect for the hotel\, the beauties of his Japanese art collection\, and how Japan changed Wright’s work in the following decades. MAARA director\, Kent Seavey\, states\, “This lecture will provide a new way of seeing how Japan influenced America in the years just after 1918.”

SUMMARY:Art Talk by Scott Gale
DESCRIPTION:Free for members\, $10 for non-members \n\n\n\nYou are cordially invited to Casa Serrano on Sunday\, February 2\, 2025\, at 1PM\, for an event that could only happen in Monterey. In 1963\, artist Donald Teague did a watercolor painting of Mayo Hayes O’Donnell’s upstairs bedroom at Casa Soberanes. O’Donnell was known as “Mrs. History” and is well-known to MHAA members. The painting hangs permanently in her bedroom\, and the public never sees it\, for good reason – the staircase to the second floor is an accident waiting to happen. Currently\, State Parks has moved a number of paintings from Casa Soberanes and placed them in Casa Gutierrez for public viewing. The Teague painting is among those on exhibit. \n\n\n\nFor those familiar with Teague’s work\, the bedroom painting strikes most as rather unusual\, both with regard to subject matter and palette. However\, as Teague’s grandson (and MHAA board member) Scott Gale will explain\, in reality\, painting the O’Donnell bedroom was easy work for Teague – he had done scores of interiors before\, as a story illustrator for our nation’s top magazines. \n\n\n\nGale will give a 30-minute slide show presentation at Casa Serrano and share a number of illustrations featuring interiors. He will then speak about the O’Donnell bedroom work for a bit and share several other Teague fine art interiors. There will be a small pop-up art show in connection with the presentation\, featuring – you guessed it – a few Teague fine art interiors. \n\n\n\nAfter the presentation\, attendees will walk a few short blocks to Casa Gutierrez\, to view the O’Donnell bedroom painting as well as the other paintings on display. Out of respect for others who may be present\, Gale will not speak to the group while in Casa Gutierrez.
