Hilbert Museum: California Watercolors

Hilbert Museum of California Art celebrates the California Watercolor Society:  The First Fifty Years (1921-1971) with a beautiful exhibition.

This exhibition has been mounted to present select watercolors by outstanding artists who were members between 1921 and 1971, when the organization was known as the California Water Color Society.

The goal of the exhibition is to visually confirm the CWCS artists from that  fifty year period of time indeed succeeded in establishing Southern California as a center for the advancement of the watercolor medium; just as the founding members had hoped for when they formed the organization in 1921.
