Frank Cuprien got to enjoy Laguna’s stunning environment before any of us were here. Thanks to his stunning paintings, we get to enjoy it through him!
The best part? We have an exhibition featuring Cuprien’s artworks on view just steps from the beach right now!
𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝘾𝙪𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣: 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙖 invites you to know Frank Cuprien as an artist and as a person. Archival materials from the museum’s collection, including photographs, letters and personal records offer rare insight into his daily practice, friendships and deep attachment to Laguna Beach. These materials place the artworks in lived context, illuminating how Cuprien returned to the same stretch of shoreline again and again, finding endless variation in light, movement and mood.
