Francis De Erdely's Striking Figures Exhibition, Laguna Art Museum

Join the Laguna Art Museum (LAM) in celebrating the first major exhibition of De Erdely’s work, a show that spotlights the classically trained painter’s portraits of regular people, from dancers and musicians to laborers. The paintings, created after De Erdely moved to Southern California after World War II, depict the social reality of the time, shining a light on race, culture, and social stratification in Southern California.
