SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Museum of Art to present “An Artist Talk — Whitney Bedford’s Landscapes” AT 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7 at the Atkinson Gallery, Humanities Building, H-202, Santa Barbara City College, 721 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara.
The Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art have co-organized an artist’s talk with Whitney Bedford, a California artist who looks to art history, especially Impressionist painters, to make startlingly colored and brilliantly graphic images. Even though Bedford is a thoroughly contemporary artist, her work exists in a deep dialog with 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century artists.
Bedford’s artworks are currently on view as part the exhibitions New Landscape I (November 1 – December 8, 2023) at the Atkinson Gallery and Inside/Outside (June 11, 2023 – February 18, 2024) at Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
