The Gardena High School Collection
California Impressionism: The Gardena High School Collection features a selection of nine paintings from the collection, including major works by notable artists such as Maynard Dixon, Jean Mannheim, and Edgar Payne. The paintings on view reflect the state’s scenic diversity as well as the vitality of Gardena High School’s program and the Impressionist movement that once flourished here.

John Frost, "Desert Twilight", 1924
Checking on line on the Gardena High school website, I learned that the collection has about 100 paintings in it, all in storage, none on display because they have no gallery. Fundraising continues but I'm not optimistic this will amount to much. I hope LAUSD is helping them with conservation and storage. This collection is too important to leave unviewed by district's children and by the public. I'm thinking about doing something about it - what would that look like?
