Description
Film Premiere Celebrates Claremont's Unique Artistic Legacy
Design for Modern Living: Millard Sheets and the Claremont Art Community 1935-1975 chronicles the remarkable artistic community that made Claremont a center of Mid-20th Century Modern design. The premiere event is sponsored by the Claremont Museum of Art, the Clark Humanities Museum and the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College.
Two years in the making, the one-hour documentary film, produced by Paul Bockhorst in partnership with the Claremont Museum of Art, provides a vivid and illuminating account of the important art community that emerged in Claremont in the years following World War II under the leadership of Millard Sheets, with profiles of nearly two dozen artists and craftspersons.
The event will include an introduction by filmmaker Paul Bockhorst, a Q&A session and a wine reception to benefit CMA programs. Be among the first to see this important new chronicle of Claremont history!
