This summer, three women at the peak of their powers lead a spectacular pop culture revival. Barbie, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift shattered records and created a communal economy of irrational exuberance.

Exhibition extended through October 10, 2022! From the museum: The extraordinary works in this exhibition were collected by Georges Bemberg (1915–2011), the Argentine-French writer and musician who amassed one of the finest art collections in Europe. Today, the collection is housed at the Hótel d’Assézat in Toulouse, France. This exhibition marks the first time the Bemberg Foundation’s Impressionism collection, which rarely leaves its permanent home in France, has traveled to California. Monet to Matisse is one of only two showcases in the United States. The Bemberg collection is known for both its old masters—shared recently in this museum with the exhibition Cranach to Canaletto—as well as the avant-garde movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and related movements, such as Pointillism and Fauvism, which are highlighted in this exhibition with major works. Georges Bemberg made an auspicious beginning as a young Harvard student when he bought his first work of art, by Camille Pissarro, on a visit to New York. Pissarro’s status as “dean” of the Impressionist movement (as the critic John Rewald called him) may have resonated with Bemberg, as he was as quick to mentor his peers as he was to learn from them. Like Bemberg, Pissarro also enthusiastically embraced France as his adoptive home, having been born in the Caribbean Danish territory of St. Thomas (now United States Virgin Islands). From these beginnings, Bemberg went on to collect the major contributors to the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, ranging from Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Paul Cezanne, to later giants such as Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy, and Pierre Bonnard. It was Bonnard who would became a lifelong passion, and Bemberg eventually amassed more than thirty works by this seminal co-founder of Les Nabis, the modernist group that brought together influences by Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Japanese printmaking. As a true humanist and polymath, Bemberg had a deep appreciation for the diversity of interests and inspiration embodied in Les Nabis figures such as Pierre Bonnard and Paul Sérusier. This exhibition was originally scheduled to close August 7, 2022. Due to popular demand, the exhibition has been extended through October 10, 2022. Please note: Due to the staff and logistics necessary for this special exhibition, there is an additional charge ($5) for nonmembers, ages 7+. Members receive free admission. Advanced tickets are not required. See here for more information about special exhibition entry. Related links: SDMA on Instagram SDMA on Facebook SDMA on YouTube

An ex-caregiver and convicted sex offender pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexually assaulting two women in San Diego area nursing homes. Meanwhile, the California Air Resources board has just released an updated roadmap on how the state can achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. Also, COVID-19 cases seem to be on the rise again, both across the United States and here in San Diego County. In response, the Biden administration is pushing for a new round of funding to prepare for an upcoming wave of the virus that, they say, could infect 100 million Americans by fall. Then, abortion providers are hoping that the opening of the first legal abortion clinics on the Mexican side of the border will mean safer access for women seeking services. Plus, state regulators announced this week they need more time and more information before issuing new rooftop solar rules. And finally, San Diego Opera presents the West Coast Premiere of “Aging Magician,” a hybrid opera-theatre piece that combines singing, choral work, puppetry and performance art.

The proposal would allow family members, first responders and others to refer people with debilitating psychosis to be evaluated, treated and housed before they end up in the criminal justice system. Plus, more than 2 million American children and teenagers live with a wounded or ill veteran. Many help with the veteran's care and face challenges like stress, anxiety, and social isolation. And, in this weekend arts preview, we have some contemporary ballet set to Bluegrass, visual art from the border to the desert, and a chamber concert dedicated to Ukraine.

Summer feels infinite, but also rushed in its impermanence. Roséwave bottles that infinity with a soundtrack that spans generations and genres of music.

When stars hit it big just as a generation comes of age, it can create a unique, lifelong bond with their fans. Think: Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, and of course, Beyoncé. It goes way beyond nostalgia.
