​Joseph Jacinto Mora (1876-1947) was one of California’s most colorful, prolific and versatile artists—a sculptor, painter, illustrator, cartographer, draftsman, and cartoonist, as well as an author, actor, and cowboy! His prodigious legacy includes murals, children’s books, and exquisitely illustrated maps.

Curator Peter Hiller will discuss Mora’s life and work at receptions
on June 7 and June 27, 7pm.

Sales by appointment.
Proceeds benefit the Living New Deal and Jo Mora Trust.
