Visit San Francisco's community of art and artists before and during the Golden Gate International Exposition, through the life and work of Spanish artist Jose Moya del Pino. He arrived in San Francisco in 1925 on an international tour of his paintings, and never left. In the1930s, his paintings and murals at Coit Tower, the Merchants' Exchange, and other exhibitions gained him a respected reputation. At the fair, Moya produced enormous works in the California Building and the Temple of Religion and Tower of Peace, meanwhile developing important relationships with artists, architects and leaders of the time, including Diego Rivera, Antonio Sotomayor, Adaline Kent, John Bolles and Dr. Stanley Armstrong Hunter. Moya Librarian Fran Cappelletti will discuss his time on the Island and the legacy it inspired.
