Oregon-born painter Ray Stanford Strong (1905-2006) captured the essence of the Western landscape in a long career dedicated to what he termed “Earth portraiture.” He was also known for his innovative dioramas, social activism, land conservation, and leadership in art education. For a time, Strong lived in Marin County and spent time in Mendocino County. Drawn from private and public collections, this exhibition focuses primarily on landscapes Strong made of areas in or around San Francisco and the East Bay, Marin and Mendocino Counties, and the Sierra and Cascade Ranges. It also includes subjects depicting places in Oregon, Arizona, Utah, New York, and Italy. A small exhibit of Grace Hudson landscapes complements the show.
