PERMANENT COLLECTION "A MOMENT IN HISTORY"
The Permanent Collection of the Chaffey Community Art Association represents
some of the most prominent artists of the Western United States in the
period from 1920 to date. It is also representational of the development of
a distinctive school of California art inspired by the unique quality of
light and geographic features to be found in the coastal, mountain and
desert areas of the Far West. Salient examples of this school are to be
found in the watercolor paintings of Millard Sheets, Rex Brandt and
Milford Zornes.
Some of the finest works of the regional artists of the period 1920-1950 are
also represented in the Permanent Collection, most importantly the works of
Emil Kosa, Jr., Thomas Craig, and Conrad Buff. At
present, there are over one hundred works in the collection.
THE BARBARA LINE COLLECTION
The nucleus of the Chaffey Community Art Association Permanent Collection of
fine paintings was the Barbara Line Collection. This was a succession of
fine paintings donated by Francis and Helen Line, beginning in 1941, as a
memorial to their lovely young daughter.
The nine paintings of the Barbara Line Collection are:
Desert River, Conrad Buff, 1941.
Blue House, Thomas Craig, 1941.
Storm at Sequoia, Emil Kosa, Jr., 1941.
Mineral King, Paul Lauritz, 1941.
After the Sing, Marjorie Reed Lindgren, 1941.
