art inspired: clarence hinkle, laguna beach
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
This classic view of Laguna Beach painted by the early twentieth century painter Clarence Hinkle, is also the view from where the Laguna Art Museum is now located and currently showing a major retrospective of Hinkle's paintings. The post impressionist style Hinkle brought to his work; more abstract with broader strokes and his use of black and bright color with an emphasis on line, differed from other landscape painters of his generation.
Hinkle's bold cream and black palette captures the dazzling light of summer and is the jumping off place for this week's art inspired fashion post.
Details from top left, clockwise: Genie by Eugenia Kim Darcy Paper Crochet Fedora With Knot $70; Paul & Joe Sister Baileul Cotton Lace Top $330; PRISM Portofino matte acetate cat-eye framed sunglasses $395; Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture $32; Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Continental Wallet $750; Jack Rogers Women's Belle Buckle Cream Python flats $1,633; Stella McCartney Guipure Lace skirt $780; Chloé Woven oversized tote $715; Estée Lauder After Hours Compact with Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder $51
If you're in the area, Laguna Art Museum Curator of Collections Janet Blake, an expert on historic California art and curator of the Clarence Hinkle exhibition, will be presenting “In Love with Painting: The Life and Art of Clarence Hinkle”. The lecture will take place at Laguna Art Museum on Thursday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. The Clarence Hinkle retrospective will be on show at Laguna Art Museum through October 7.

I love these art inspired posts, they're so thoughtful!
I meant to tell you, I tried to purchase Naked State of Mind but the system tells me you don't ship to Ireland after all :(
I like his post impressionist style. Impressionism remains my favourite movement in painting.
I've been trying to stay away from black this summer, but I still can't resist the LBD from time to time and I like to pair it with a cream hat or flat sandals. The green wallet and orange lipstick are just the perfect pops of colour, Mary Jo! Wouldn't see any better combination. :)

I usually pair black and white in the summer, but I love cream clothes and I have quite a few jackets in the color range. I love the pale grey you included in you board too. Beautiful as usual Mary Jo!

Okay I am LOVING that painting. I've never heard of him before. How amazing would that look in my entryway? ;)
I am in love with that painting. How exquisite. I love the soft strokes. So beautiful. Mary Jo, you create the most beautifully inspired outfits. This one is truly dreamy. Very wearable. I love it!

nice painting. It is nice spending a lazy summer afternoon relaxing in Laguna Beach. I would totally pair cream and black together.
You're killing me with the Paul and Joe Sister blouse. I bought too many of these blouses in France - but this one is sublime! Interesting painting of Laguna, which normal artists depict as very blue and green and this one is pale. ( BTW, I'm in the Palisades next week Wed evening onwards until Sat morning if you and Katie are around - I know it's quite far from your beach though...)
Lovely inspiration and look!
Love that hat!

Love the lace top and yes, I mix black and cream (and nude:) a lot! xo Caroline

Laguna Beach is beautiful, and I love your color palette recreation. I especially love the lace top and skirt.

Cream and black is definitely chic! I want this entire look you curated, right down to that lipstick. I've been coveting a bright lip for a while.

I'm so sad... it appears my comments didn't go thru :(
I think cream and black are super chic any time of year. I love everything you've curated about this look. Especially the tote and lip color.
