Arthur and Lucia MathewsHighlights of the California Decorative Style
Major Sponsorship provided by George and Irene Drews,Edgar F. and Ella C. Kleiner, Gordon and Cecile Peters, and John H. O. La Gatta
Arthur and Lucia Mathews are widely
acknowledged as two of California’s most prolific
artists working in what is known as the California
Decorative Style during the early twentieth century.
The aesthetic they fostered incorporated classical
references, idyllic landscapes, and a muted tonal
color palette applied to a variety of works from
murals and paintings to wooden frames and
decorative objects. Their careers blossomed during
the height of the American Arts & Crafts
movement, when an emphasis on fine design and
craftsmanship was placed on the hand-made
production of material goods and objects such as
those on display in this exhibition.
through October 14
Arthur and Lucia MathewsHighlights of the California Decorative Style
All of the artworks in this exhibition are from the collection of the Oakland Museum of California.
