The Claremont Lewis Museum of Art exhibition Complications in Color will mark the 100th birthday of Karl Benjamin (1925-2012), legendary Claremont painter and visionary of the 1950s hard-edge abstraction painting movement. The exhibition will celebrate the beauty of abstraction while revealing its deeper complexities in the work of Florence Arnold, Karl Benjamin, June Harwood, Rachel Lachowicz, and Terry O’Shea. Live music by Mick Rhodes Acoustic Trio. Generously sponsored by Gould Asset Management LLC, Complications in Color will open with a reception on Saturday, August 2 from 6-9 p.m. and will remain on view through November 16, 2025. The Museum is open Thursday through Sunday at 200 W. First Street next to the Metrolink Station.
