Don Louis Perceval: His Vision of the West
Join the Museum for 1st Thursday, on May 1, from 5:00-8:00pm, to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition, Don Louis Perceval: His Vision of the West.
Don Louis Perceval (1908-1979) was born in Woodford, Essex, England and raised in Los Angeles, where he attended the Pasadena Military Academy and Chouinard Art Institute.
As a young man he traveled throughout the Southwest, becoming enamored with the natural beauty of the landscape and its Hopi and Navajo peoples, and began documenting their life through his sketches. After studying at the Royal Academy and service to the Royal Navy, he was drawn back to the west and commissioned to create advertisements for the Rio Grande Oil Company. After a life dedicated to his work he spent his final years in Santa Barbara.
Experience Perceval’s passion brought to life in this new exhibition, curated by Marlene Miller.
