Title A name given to the resource The Fernand Lungren Bequest Description An account of the resource In 1959, The Fernand Lungren Bequest became the first group of paintings acquired by the AD&A Museum for its permanent collection. Fernand Harvey Lungren (1857-1932) was among Santa Barbara’s most distinguished artists of the early twentieth century. Although he began his career as part of the circle of the American artist William Merritt Chase and spent an extended period in Paris where he was influenced by the work of James McNeill Whistler, it was Lungren’s journey to the American Southwest that most profoundly affected him. Sponsored by the Santa Fe Railroad which wished to commission images of the Southwest to entice eastern tourists, Lungren made his first excursions west in the early 1890s. By the 1920s, Lungren’s Santa Barbara studio became a center for the local arts scene where the artist displayed his Native American artifacts alongside canvases depicting the glowing, solitary beauty of the American desert. The Fernand Lungren Collection belongs to the art historical heritage of Santa Barbara and has particular meaning for the AD&A Museum which functions as a hands-on, teaching museum. It was Lundgren’s intent that his collections be given to “people of the City of Santa Barbara” for public enjoyment and edification. In his will, the artist bequeathed his painting collection, a body of 188 paintings and 131 drawings, to the Santa Barbara Teachers’ College, the forerunner to the UC Santa Barbara, and his collection of Native American artifacts to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. It was Lungren’s wish that the gift of his collection “will result in as much pleasure to the community as I have in making it.” In the early 1960s, the collection was physically transferred to UC Santa Barbara and, in line with the artist’s pedagogical intent of exhibition and teaching, works from the Fernand Lungren Collection are experienced by students, faculty and community members at AD&A Museum today.

Title A name given to the resource The Carolyn and Edwin Gledhill Photography Collection Description An account of the resource In 1986, Keith Gledhill donated to the AD&A Museum a collection of over 100 photographic materials by his mother and father, Carolyn and Edwin Gledhill. Arriving in 1917, the recently married couple, opened their portrait studio on Chapala Street, one block from the infamous oceanfront Potter Hotel which is now Ambassador Park near Stearns Wharf. Although industrial growth was progressing rapidly throughout the United States, Santa Barbara remained focused on architecture, civic value and pageantry focusing on the city’s cultural elite. This made it a haven for a diverse and growing community of artists and professionals allowing the Gledhills easy access to subjects for their portraiture business. Carolyn and Edwin lived an unconditional lifestyle which was deemed scandalous by early 20th Century standards: at the time of their marriage, Edwin was 19 and Carolyn in her 30s. This unorthodox lifestyle mirrored itself in real life while Edwin was often viewed as the primary photographer of the studio, it was really Carolyn who was the professional. Edwin would pose the subjects but it was only when Carolyn found the pose to her liking that she would pull the shutter. This often resulted in empowered appearing women suggesting an early expression of feminism. But Carolyn had an untimely death in the 1930s while Edwin continued with the photography studio preserving in print Santa Barbara’s historic resources. The Gledhill collection is augmented with additional photographs by Henry Ravell, a colleague and fellow photographer who arrived in Southern California from New York in 1914.
