Palm Springs Art Museum
Exhibits at the Palm Springs Art Museum include D. J. Hall Thirty-Five Year Retrospective 5.24.08 - 9.14.08 ANNENBERG WING. Hall's paintings are inspired by the artist's visits to Palm Springs'
pools and resorts and Los Angeles' posh Westside and beaches.
Depictions of privileged, beautiful women grinning with self-satisfaction against the
inevitable ravages of time became the basis of Hall's imagery.
Employing a realist style of painting, the artist celebrates the color and quality of light in sunny environments. Yet, these emotionally charged works pack compelling thoughts for viewers who choose to look beyond the pretty faces and scenes. Call for summer hours.
