Don't miss key and previously unseen works of El Charlton Fortune
Date: Every day (Jun 12-Aug 31) from 9:30am to 5:00pm

E. Charlton Fortune ("Effie" to her friends) was a California Impressionist painter from an established San Franicsco family who granted her exposure to high art, intellectual rigor and travel to Europe. She achieved acclaim with her lyrical landscapes, but after studying with Armin Hansen in the 1920s, she settled in Monterey and joined the Carmel Art Association and Monterey Guild, where she created liturgical (religious) works for the remainder of her career.

 

This exhibit, The Liturgical Arts of E. Charlton Fortune and the Monterey Gujild 1828-1958, assembles key works from this phase, including previously unseen works like "Serra's First Mass at Monterey," in the form of ceramics, textiles, metalworks, woodcarvings, paintings and photographs from Fortune's personal albums, provided by heirs of August Gay, Mission San Juan Bautista, Monterey Museum of Art and various other galleries.
