Lehman [0-91] Saint Mary's College Museum of Art Permanent Collection

The current Saint Mary's Museum of Art exhibit, "Aesthetic Forces: Nature in the Modern California Landscape, 1915-2015" explores how 20th and 21st-century art practice assimilated and reconsidered ideas of the "sublime" and "picturesque" in dialogue with Modernism and the shifting relationship amongst culture, land, and the environment.
From 1915, the year of San Francisco's Panama Pacific International Exposition, to 2015, the year of California's landmark drought-this exhibition presents paintings, prints, and photographs from the Saint Mary's College Muse-um of Art permanent collection. These selected works fold the cultural and environmental influence of world fairs, wars, urbanization, political shifts, lifestyle perceptions, and natural disasters into the formation of how land and nature generate mood and sensation through aesthetic forces.
"Aesthetic Forces" is on view through July 11, Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. All visitors will need to complete and share the college's health screen check before entrance at the campus gate at www.stmarys-ca.edu/covid-19-news-resources
