Featuring the work of early and contemporary California artists.

Paintings by late 19th and early 20th century artists: Armin Hansen, August Gay, William Clapp, William Ritschel, Mary DeNeale Morgan, Maynard Dixon and others hang with such contemporary artists as:

Judith Deim who, although still painting vigorously in Mexico, was a friend of and portraitist of John Steinbeck in Monterey in the 1930s. She is also the subject of an award-winning documentary, Ghostbird: The Life and Art of Judith Deim, which plays on the Sundance Channel.

Belle Yang, the internationally important author-artist of the Harcourt-Brace books Baba, Odyssey of a Manchurian, and her first children's book, Chili-Chili-Chin-Chin. A new children's book, Hannah Is My Name, will be published in the fall of 2004, and she has just completed the third novel of her trilogy.

Gregory Kondos, National Academician and former Yosemite National Park resident artist.

Pam Carroll, realist and also illustrator of numerous successful children's books, including A Is for America.

A new discovery among early artists is William Saroyan, the Pulitzer Prize-and Academy Award-winning writer. Saroyan was a modern artist of considerable talent.

Another is Kate Carew, featured in the The New Yorker on Feb. 9, 1998 in an article titled Celebrity's Midwife--The Lost Work of Kate Carew. Carew was an internationally famous caricaturist for The Tatler, New York's Tribune and Evening World and other periodicals.

She was also a superb artist who frequently signed her paintings 'Mary Reed'. Much of the lost work has been found and Hauk Fine Arts represents the estate.

Gallery owner Steve Hauk wrote the script for the award-winning documentary Roots of California Photography: The Monterey Legacy, a documentary narrated by the late Jack Lemmon. The film, which describes the region's important photographers, is now showing nationally on PBS.

He also wrote Time Captured in Paintings: The Monterey Legacy, also narrated by Mr. Lemmon. And he co-curated the inaugural exhibition of the National Steinbeck Center, This Side of Eden--Images of Steinbeck's California.
