MontereyNOW: Pam Carroll

Pam Carroll, Just Picked, 2009, oil on hardboard, collection of the artist

Through March 21
MMA Pacific Street

Pam Carroll considers herself a realist painter. Whether painting lemons, seashells or portraits, her approach is rigorous, as she carefully translates each feature of her subject, rendering it with painstaking accuracy. With her expert use of trompe l’oeil, a “fool the eye” painting technique, she can tantalizingly pull the viewer into a world of illusion, where the distinction between the tangible world and its more beguiling reflection is uncannily blurred.

MontereyNOW is an exhibition series presenting local artists who have made significant contributions to the visual arts.

This exhibition series is sponsored by Barbara and William Hyland.

		Scenes of the Old West: The Ralph K. Davies Collection of Western Art
FREDERIC REMINGTON (1861-1909) The Bronco Buster, n.d. Bronze, The Ralph K. Davies Collection of Western Art, courtesy of the Louise M. Davies Foundation L1983.56		Through April 18 MMA La Mirada Overview:The work of Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington commemorates the legendary American West—documenting the region’s distant past, while capturing the spirit of its new inhabitants. In particular, Russell’s sympathetic and knowledgeable observations of his times and his strong desire to depict the people with dignity and meaning enabled him to create works that embody the celebrated spirit of the American frontier. The long-term loan of this collection to the Monterey Museum of Art and its ongoing support has been generously provided by the Louise M. Davies Foundation.
