The Huntington\u2019s Art Museum, once home to Henry and Arabella Huntington, boasts a large collection of European, American and East Asian art.<\/p>\n
(Allen J. Schaben \/ Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n
L.A. has seen various major art museums blossom since the 1960s, but the Huntington collection is still enormously impressive. The centerpiece is European paintings, sculptures and decorative arts \u2014 especially 18th century British and, secondarily, French \u2014 while American art claims maturing depth. (Chinese and Japanese art holdings are modest.) A 2021 acquisitions partnership<\/a> with the Ahmanson Foundation is bringing major additions, so far including exceptional paintings by Francisco Goya<\/a> and Thomas Cole<\/a>.<\/p>\n What follows is a selection of 22 works, chosen from the mansion and the Virginia Scott Steele Galleries for American Art, a short walk away. (The art\u2019s locations are noted as \u201cM1\u201d or \u201cM2\u201d for the mansion\u2019s two floors, or \u201cS\u201d for the Steele.) Note, however, that this is most definitely not a \u201cbest of\u201d list. Some works would surely turn up on such a selection, but the aim here is instead to give an idea of the diverse pleasures that will be found throughout the place. The list is in chronological order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”> The imposing Beaux-Arts mansion at the Huntington in San Marino, designed at the start of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[787,437,434,435,436,88052,88049,438,146,88050,35643,37827,85,46,17459,88048,20606,57051,5839,27874,19249,762,88051],"class_list":["post-142953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-art","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-billionaire-today","tag-circa","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-european-painting","tag-foot","tag-huntington","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-m1","tag-m2","tag-man","tag-mansion","tag-oil","tag-painter","tag-portrait","tag-time","tag-unidentified-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
