#FridaysAreForFlowers and January is for carnations! Featured: Bartholomäus Bruyn, the Elder, “Lady with Carnation (Portrait of Bela Bonenberg),” ca. 1525-1530. Oil on panel. Gift of Anne R. and Amy Putnam, 1940.73.

Honored to be featured by @sdut as we celebrate 100 years of art in San Diego. From centennial exhibitions to our free Feb 28 birthday and plans for a new west wing, we’re excited for the future. Grateful for a century of support.

Fridays are for flowers and November is for chrysanthemums! Favored by the flourishing merchant class during Japan's Edo period, the Rimpa style blended refinement with wit and vibrant natural motifs.
