"California [is]...a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.
—John Steinbeck, Cannary Row
"So many accounts of California attest to the idiosyncratic pleasures of its light—how it moves with such calm and effervescence before it compounds as material form along the edge of the horizon just as day succumbs to dusk. And one always wakes again to find it passing through the bedroom window, laying claim to the shape of the home and the beginning of yet another day." —Excerpt taken from the essay "A Window Caked with Light: Paul Wonner, Richard Diebenkorn, and the Refraction of Paint" by Christian Whitworth in the exhibition catalogue Left of Center: Five Years of the Anderson Collection at Stanford University (Anderson Collection at Stanford University, 2019)
