Laguna College of Art and Design Partners with Project Gado to Bring the Rex and Joan Irving Brandt Papers to Getty Images

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Oct. 13, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD), the West Coast's top fine art college, announced with Project Gado that 1,000 pages of material from The Rex and Joan Irving Brandt Papers are now available on Getty Images. California Watercolorist Rex Brandt kept sketchbooks, photographs and archival materials that can now be viewed at: http://bit.ly/rexbrandtlcadgado.

"LCAD is privileged to be the only art school in the nation to house the Brandt Papers, and we are thrilled to share this wonderful archive with the rest of the world through our partnership with Project Gado," said President Jonathan Burke. "While Brandt's full-scale works are held by museums and private collectors worldwide, his sketchbooks tell the private story of an artist who was committed to drawing and willing to explore any visual idiom that met his needs."

In 1962, Brandt was involved in designing the first two college art studios for what was then Laguna Beach School of Art (today known as LCAD). Joan Scarboro and Shelley Walker, daughters of Brandt, donated the archive to the collections of the Dennis and Leslie Power Library in 2011.

"Our mission is to digitize and share the world's visual history," said Amy Smith, co-founder of Project Gado. "We're excited not only to share Rex Brandt's inspiring sketchbooks on Getty Images, but also to expand the breadth of our collections into the world of fine art."
