Event Details
The Center Museum presents two winter exhibitions: Manzanar: The Wartime Photographs of Ansel Adams and Wendy Maruyama: Executive Order 9066.
The first presents an intimate look through the lens of celebrated photographer Ansel Adams at daily life in Manzanar, one of ten Japanese-American incarceration camps in the U.S. during World War II. Adams’ work in Manzanar is a departure from his signature style of landscape photography, providing a glimpse into one of the darkest moments in U.S. history.
Wendy Maruyama: Executive Order 9066 analyzes the internment camps with a contemporary eye. As a Japanese-American artist, Maruyama explores family history and identity through her sculptural work. Her exhibition involves a series of wall-mounted cabinets referencing themes from the internment camps. Also featured are sculptures from Maruyama’s The Tag Project, consisting of nearly 120,000 replicas of the paper identification tags that internees were forced to wear.
Objects and information from the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego will also be on view. Please contact the Center Museum for timing.

Though Penn’s body of work includes drawings and paintings, he is widely known for his fashion and commercial photography. His early career as art director at Saks Fifth Avenue provided background in fashion before he joined Vogue magazine in 1943, where he continued to contribute throughout his career, and his global travels greatly influenced his perspective. Penn even met his future wife on assignment in Paris, and she became a frequent subject in his photographs. Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and curated by MOPA Curator of Photography Merry Foresta, the collection spans Penn’s career from the late 1930s to the early 2000s.

From the age of 18 months, Isabella Thorn showed artistic talent. Her grandmother, internationally collected artist Gloria Lee, began teaching Isabella (Bella) how to mix paint and use brushes on a traditional upright artist easel. In 2009, with Valentine’s Day approaching, Isabella’s mother and Exclusive Collections Gallery owner Ruth-Ann Thorn needed a heart display for the gallery window. Lee worked with Bella to create the backgrounds for heart paintings. Intended merely for display, once the hearts were hung, collectors wanted to buy them, and Isabella’s art career began forming.
Now at age 11, Isabella has sold more than 600 Bella Hearts to collectors from around the globe.
