A Walk Around & Lunch In Santa Barbara
Went to see the Moholy-Nagy paintings at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, then lunch at the Harbor. I was not allowed to film in the museum, so I captured the outside of it. Took a walk down State Street and then over to The Harbor to Brophy Bros. Restaurant and Clam Bar, bought some fish at the Fish Market, and found our way home.

Current Work: Richard Meier
Recorded: January 23, 2014
Richard Meier founded his New York City-based firm in 1963. His practice has completed commissions worldwide that range from civic structures, museums, and corporate headquarters, to housing and private residences. From early projects through today, Meier and his partners continue to embody the accolades of the Pritzker Prize citation given to him almost thirty years ago: that in his “single-minded pursuit of the essence of modern architecture … he has broadened its range of forms to make it responsive to the expectations of our time.”
On the occasion of his 50th anniversary in practice, Meier gave a special lecture as part of the League’s Current Work program. The Current Work series invites significant international figures who powerfully influence contemporary architectural practice and shape the future of the built environment to present their work and ideas to a public audience.
In his lecture, embedded above, Meier presents a survey of his first 50 years of practice, touching on the following projects: Lambert Beach House (Fire Island, NY); his offices at 56 East 53rd Street, 136 East 57th Street, and 475 10th Avenue (New York, NY); Smith House (Darien, CT); Douglas House (Harbor Springs, MI); Museum for Applied Art (Frankfurt, Germany); Grotta House (Harding Township, NJ); Museum of Contemporary Art (Barcelona, Spain); The Getty Center (Los Angeles, CA); Neugebauer House (Naples, FL); United States Courthouse (Islip, NY); 173/176 Perry Street (New York, NY); 165 Charles Street (New York, NY); Jubilee Church (Rome, Italy); Arp Museum (Remagen-Rolandseck, Germany); Weill Hall, Cornell University (Ithaca, NY); Coffee Plaza (Hamburg, Germany); OCT Shenzhen Clubhouse (Shenzhen, China); Italcementi i.lab (Bergamo, Italy); Jesolo Lido Condominium (Jesolo, Italy); City Green Court (Prague, Czech Republic); Luxembourg House (Luxembourg); Teachers Village (Newark, NJ); HH Resort & Spa (Gangneung, South Korea); Rothschild Tower (Tel Aviv, Israel); Vitrum Residential Towers (Bogota, Colombia); Taichung Condominium Tower (Taichung, Taiwan); Reforma Towers (Mexico City, Mexico); and The Surf Club (Surfside, FL).
This lecture was co-sponsored by The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union.

Scenery, Story, Spirit: American Painting and Sculpture from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art
Between the 1830s and the end of the First World War, American art came into its own. From the majestic Hudson River School paintings of Thomas Cole, John Kensett, and Albert Bierstadt to the gritty urban realism of Robert Henri and John Sloan, this presentation draws on the rich holdings of American paintings and sculptures in the collection of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Organized by guest curator Peter John Brownlee, this selection highlights the maturation of a distinctly American idiom, one informed by international currents and engaged with capturing the fluxes of modern life. Masterpieces of landscape, genre, still-life, and portraiture, punctuated by a selection of sculptures, trace an evolution in style from an art driven by the mandates of westward expansion to one animated by experimentation. In both idealized and naturalistically rendered landscapes, in scenes of everyday life, or meticulously detailed images of everyday objects, the presentation also narrates an important chapter in American cultural history that witnessed the Civil War and its aftermath, the expansion of national boundaries and the closing of the western frontier, and the transformations wrought by the emergence of new technologies at the dawn of the 20th century.
Wonner Paul 保羅華納 (1920-2008) Neo-Expressionism Contemporary Realism American
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Paul John Wonner 保羅華納 (April 24, 1920 – April 23, 2008) was an American artist who was born in Tucson, Arizona. He received a B.A. in 1952, an M.A. in 1953, and an M.L.S. in 1955―all from the University of California, Berkeley. He rose to prominence in the 1950s as an abstract expressionist associated with the Bay Area Figurative Movement, along with his partner, Theophilus Brown (1919-2012), whom he met in 1952 while attending graduate school. In 1956, Wonner started painting a series of dreamlike male bathers and boys with bouquets. In 1962, he began teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles. By the end of the 1960s, he had abandoned his loose figurative style and focused exclusively on still lifes in a hyperrealist style. Wonner died April 23, 2008 in San Francisco, California.
Paul Wonner 保羅華納 is best known for his still-life paintings done in an abstract expressionist style.
The Cantor Arts Center (Stanford University, California); the Crocker Art Museum, (Sacramento, California); the Davis Art Center, (Davis, California); the Honolulu Museum of Art, Honolulu, Hawaii; the Hunter Museum of American Art, (Chattanooga, Tennessee); the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, (Kansas City, Missouri); the Kresge Art Museum, (Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan); the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, (San Antonio, Texas); the Oakland Museum of California, (Oakland, California); the Philbrook Museum of Art, (Tulsa, Oklahoma); the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, (Santa Barbara, California); the Sheldon Museum of Art (Lincoln, Nebraska); the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.); and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York City) are among the public collections holding work by Paul Wonner.
Paul Wonner 保羅華納is best known for his Abstract Expressionist still life paintings. Much of his work focuses on small objects, jars, pitchers, fruit, etc. or on specific figures that dominate the space. He was interested in art as a youth and his parents hired a tutor to help him with his drawing during high school.
Wonner was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1920, and after his early art education set out for California in 1937. He settled in Oakland where he attended the California College of Arts and Crafts. His art school experience provided Wonner with basic drawing and painting techniques. He graduated from CCAC in 1941 and was soon drafted into the United States Army. During his service, stationed in San Antonio, Texas, he continued his pursuit of art and even set up a small local studio.
He was discharged in 1946 and immediately headed for New York City to continue his artistic career. During the Abstract Expressionist movement in the 1940s Wonner worked as a commercial artist in New York City. To satisfy his interest in art he studied at the Art Students League and attended lectures at Robert Motherwells studio where he was exposed to other artists, critics and writers. He returned to California in 1950 to attend the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley he was influenced by the elements of Cubism.
In 1957 he joined a group of eleven other artists for an exhibition called Contemporary Bay Area Figurative Painting, at the Oakland Museum. He established a studio in San Francisco in 1960 where he continued to focus on his developing figurative style. During the 1960s his paintings dealt with individual objects arranged in a setting. He accepted a teaching position at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1968 and went on to teach in various locations in the Los Angeles area. He settled in San Francisco in 1976 where he continued to work as an Abstract Realist, creating his still lives.
Paul Wonner died on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 on the eve of his 88th birthday in San Francisco.
