Earl Wear / Topanga Canyon
Anderson House by W. Earl Wear (1958)
Canadian architect W. Earl Wear (1925-2011) moved to Los Angeles in the early 1950s and only designed nine homes. In 1954 he settled in Topanga Canyon, where this incredible house is.
It's home to ceramicist and designer Beatrice Faverjon and architectural preservationist, consultant and designer Ryan Soniat.
Much of the furniture was designed by Wear and is original to the house. The chair is by Don Shoemaker.
The attention to detail and craftsmanship is phenomenal.
Ryan reproduced the window hardware.
Wear designed the studio in 1964.
Beatrice's ceramic studio. Her work is beautiful.

Thereafter the exhibition will be on view between September 28, 2019 - January 19, 2020. Recognized for his work in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, it is not widely known that between 1934 and 2007, architectural photographer Julius Shulman (1910 - 2009) shot over 200 projects in San Diego. His clients were architects, publishers, construction companies, and developers, and included notable San Diego architects Lloyd Ruocco, Sim Bruce Richards, Henry Hester, and Frederick Liebhardt. Shulman's work, spanning several decades, documented the region's evolving 20th century architectural landscape, and he played an instrumental…

Table by Sol Bloom for New Dimensions and a couple of pots. One is by San Luis Obispo potter, Roger Marshall.
Alvin Lustig. It's been a while. When in Ojai, you always have to stop at Bart's Books.

Central Coast Modern / Museum of Ventura County
California Cool: Mid-century Modernism on the Central Coast opened last Friday at the Museum of Ventura County. Here are just a few pics. I'll do a more in-depth post later.
Ceramic sculpture by Santa Barbara-based artist Michael Arntz, on loan from The Landing.
Mosaic by Evelyn Ackerman, collection of Laura Ackerman. Not only did the Ackermans have a long history collaborating with Central Coast-based companies Panelcarve and Forms + Surfaces, Evelyn designed a mural in Santa Barbara (below).
Sea, Land, and Sky (1957) by Evelyn, for a Louis Mazzeti office building on Victoria Street in Santa Barbara.
Screen salvaged from a Rodney Walker house in Ojai that was the victim of an insensitive remodel. The screen is from the collection of Eric Huff. Architecture is a major component of the exhibition.
The opening was a sell out.
