Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art, Greene and Greene Gallery
Join docents from the Gamble House in Pasadena for drop-in talks about light fixtures designed by Charles and Henry Greene that reflect their distinct personalities and the complementary nature of their partnership.
Some works of art seem to reveal a portrait of their creator. Two of Greene and Greene’s light fixtures for the James Culbertson house (1909) exhibit a contrast of styles that reflect the personalities of Charles and Henry Greene themselves. Join Gamble House docents in The Huntington’s Greene & Greene Gallery to hear about the complementary natures of these two brothers and how their successful partnership of 28 years sustained the firm of Greene & Greene.
Informal drop-in talks at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.
