Sueo Serisawa was a Japanese American artist who was active during and after WWII. He became one of the premier California Scene painters. “Nine O’Clock News” is a still life that characterizes Sueo’s style. Influenced by Impressionism and Modernism, his paintings often have a vaporous look that evoke a feeling of calmness. This particular work is interesting in this regard, as it’s quiet and peaceful appearance is contrasted by the fact that the clock and newspaper symbolize the announcement of the invasion of Poland.

"Preston Blair was born in Los Angeles in 1908 and by the time this work was created he was employed by Disney, drawing for animated films such as Pinocchio and Fantasia. Blair was first and foremost an animator and his works of California scene painting, like Bunker Hill, were side projects he created in his free time. With this knowledge, it is easy to see the influence animation had on his watercolor paintings." -Maddie Anderson, Chapman student, writing for our collections blog: https://blogs.chapman.edu/collections Preston Blair "Bunker Hill" Watercolor on paper, 1938 Hilbert Museum #prestonblair #disney #disneyanimation #animation #illustrators #californiaartists #californiaart #hilbertmuseum #ChapmanUniversity #chapmanu #watercolor #californiascenes #painting #art #fineart #museum

Halloween is coming and we're counting down the days with a spooky selection of works from our collection. First in our eerie lineup is an untitled piece by artist Eric Freeman. Freeman has exhibited his work all over the world and has amazed his audiences with his use of color and unique styles. He works primarily with oil on canvas, employing a technique in which he gradually thins out the paint he applies using various brushstrokes at differing speeds. What do you see in Freeman's harsh brushstrokes? Ghosts? Skeletons? An electrical storm? Or could it be something darker...? #ChapmanU #chapmanart #art #EscaletteCollection #contemporaryart #painting #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #spooky #spookyart #ericfreeman #eerie #eerieart
