The Lure of the Sea
Josephine Culbertson
Carmel Beach Scene
The Monterey Peninsula is literally
defined by its relationship to the sea, and it is fitting that the art of
an important period in the area's history is likewise defined in relation
to the sea.
We hope that you have enjoyed these selections from the museum's permanent collection. We encourage you to visit the museum to see the beauty of the paintings first hand.
