The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies in the UC Davis Department of Art and Art History will welcome acclaimed painter Jennifer Packer to campus in February. Packer currently has solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. She will work with students and give a public talk.
Pierre Bonnard’s paintings of blooming gardens and rich interiors are certainly a pleasure to look at. “The paintings touch a deep spot,” said James Housefield, an associate professor in the Department of Design, who will give a talk April 23 in conjunction with a major Bonnard exhibition in San Francisco.
