Book Synopsis:
Co-authors Cynthia Wagner Weick and Artist Joaquin Turner have created an accessible hands-on book, which allows readers to experience the Monterey Bay through the eyes of 22 renowned artists. The book outlines a self-guided tour of the scenes the artists painted in the late-19th century through the mid-20th century: in Monterey, Asilomar, Pebble Beach, Carmel by-the-Sea and Point Lobos. Location and biographical details allow readers to stand on or near the spots that inspired the artists, learn about each artist, and explore their roles in crafting the region’s rich artistic fabric.

Dr. Cynthia Wagner Weick is Professor Emeritus at University of the Pacific, where she taught in the business and engineering schools for 27 years and authored over thirty articles and books. Weick has a lifelong interest in art and art history, and now resides in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Joaquin Turner is an award-winning artist and Monterey County native. Turner's work casts the region's landscape in a light that recalls the paintings of early area artists, including Charles Rollo Peters, William Ritschel, and Percy Gray. His Carmel gallery features both his work and the work of important early Peninsula artists. Visit Joaquin's website for more info.
