Through May 17th, the Blanton is hosting the fifth and final display of the touring exhibit Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury. Organized by the Orange County Museum of Art, the show offers a panoramic sketch of the 1950s West Coast origins of “cool.” It marks the period where American style found a counterweight to the East Coast tastemakers, which had hitherto held a monopoly on American culture. |
