Book Description
In the milder months of 1903¿1905, Chris Jorgensen and his wife, Angela, traveled to each of the twenty-one California mission sites, where Jorgensen produced eighty watercolor studies of the buildings, most of which were in ruins by then. In the early years of the twentieth century, there was renewed interest in mission history, and Jorgensen¿s paintings of the buildings, helped promote a mission preservation movement that remains vital to this day. At Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma, California, the California State Parks is proud to curate this exhibit of the largest selection of Jorgensen¿s mission paintings.

Book Description
The bandw photographs of the 21 California missions depicted here contrast the bright and vibrant color representations that Tupa, a Benedictine monk and priest who now teaches at St. John's University, Minnesota, painted in oil and watercolor during the summer of 1997. Witchey, the manager of New Media Initiatives at the San Diego Museum of Arts, provides the text to this book, describing the history of each mission and analyzing Tupa's art. This book depicts Tupa's work as unique in that his goal was not to promote California or to recreate the missions, rather, he was intent on his own artistic interpretation that combined a physical and spiritual element.
