  3. An unorthodox view of art

    In the 1970s, Mad Magazine published a <a href="http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp%3Fpiece=920488">classic cartoon</a> depicting an amusement park called Get-It-Out-Of-Your-System-Land, which offered a series of booths allowing visitors to unload their basest urges: defacing classic paintings, burning books, smashing rare violins and the like.

  5. The Crowd: A new focus at the Center Club

    The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus is credited with the expression, "The only thing permanent is change." The electronic age has ushered in a dramatic evolution in human behavior. Our devices that are computer-driven are in fact dictating how we live. In Orange County this past week, the venerable Center Club, known for its old-world ambience exemplified by its pine paneling adorned with classic plein air California landscape paintings by early 20th-century coastal artists, gave way to the demands of a new world of high-tech e-lounges, power boardrooms featuring cutting-edge video and audio technology, work stations and "club hub" rooms for meetings and private work retreats, all aimed at a different ethic that represents a new age.

  6. A state history in paintings

    Think of those restaurant chains that deliberately keep their menus simple &mdash; Chipotle, say, or In-N-Out Burger. Then apply that approach to the world of art, and you might have something akin to the Irvine Museum. The small venue, which takes up part of an office building at 18881 Von Karman Ave., restricts itself to a single field: California paintings from approximately 1875 to 1950 that capture the sprawling landscape of a state that developers had only begun to touch.
