Free for children under 17 • www.portlandartmuseum.org California Impressionism: “Califormia Impressionism” is a unique blend of American and European styles that focus on the light and color of California’s majestic landscape, ultimately defining modern landscape painting. The artists created a profusion of light-filled paintings

that captured sublime but fragile beauty, in a distinctive modern style. The exhibition explores the impact on impressionism and modernism on American West Coast painters. Through September 9. One of the most important American artists of the last fifty years, Ellsworth Kelly used vibrant colors, chromatic contrast, and spatial relationships to redefine abstract art. His visual vocabulary is drawn from observations of the world around him—shapes and silhouettes found in plants, architecture, shadows—developed from his interest in the space between objects and between his work and its viewer. Through September 16. 70 Years/70 Photographs This selection of works celebrates the diversity and breadth of the Museum’s acquisitions, demonstrating the trajectory of photographic history, and highlighting seventy exceptional images that the Museum has acquired during the past seven decades. Through September 9.

In August, showing watercolors by Mary Ann Daley. In this series of abstract landscapes, the artist reveals the intense connection of the elements of nature to the fundamentals of painting. They are all about color as she uses thick watercolor pigments with all their vibrancy and luminosity to create a unique version of the Northwest. In September, Mikko Freeman shows representational oil paintings. He considers himself a traditional realist and although he works primarily in oils he prepared many of his compositions in either ink, pencil, or charcoal. His intentions to create naturalistic artwork comes from a deep love of nature; a desire to capture the infi nite varieties of form and space, color, and depth.
