Along with exhibits of Western landscapes and Hopi Katsina dolls at the Autry Center <\/a>in Griffith Park, there’s a terrific show of\u00a046 pioneering female artists: California’s Designing Women (1896-1986).\u00a0It’s filled with\u00a0240 examples of elegant arts & crafts ceramics, sleek mid-century modern furnishings,\u00a0chunky lucite jewelry, wild\u00a0textiles, and dramatic graphics. The beautiful works by Ray Eames, Beatrice Wood, Deborah Sussman, and dozens of other unsung heroines, display close to a century of\u00a0both fine and commericial art. It’s on through January 6, 2013.<\/p>\n

One stunning piece that seems to fit the setting, was the “Rabbit Hunt,” a shimmering silver and gold leaf screen by Esther Bruton. It’s all organized by the Museum of California Design, and could easily have been part of The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time<\/a>, though many of these artists were included in the multi-museum extravaganza launched last year.<\/p>\n

Though I don’t often think of going to The Autry, it often offers\u00a0great shows like “The Art of Native American Basketry” or the exhibition featuring fantastic Polish poster art of American Western movies from the book, Western Amerykanski<\/a>.\u00a0Reminds me of the Fowler Museum of Cultural History<\/a> at UCLA.\u00a0Worth a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
