Phil Dike: A Bird’s Eye View
Phil Dike: A Bird’s Eye View will present the Museum’s first major exhibition of this influential and innovative artist. One of the first artists in the 1930s to develop what became known as the California Style of watercolor painting, he was also an influential and admired teacher to hundreds of students. Best known for his lively coastal scenes, some of his most captivating paintings assume the perspective of a bird’s eye view. These imagined views of real scenes involve an interpretation of landscape that goes beyond simple representation.
