Ventura, CA.- The Museum of Ventura County is proud to present “Animalia: Works by Albert Stewart, Modern Master”, on view at the museum from December 4th through February 12th 2012. The exhibition includes pieces from the collection of Stewart’s daughter, Patricia Stewart Jump of Ventura. Animals were a recurring theme during the prolific career of this artist, nationally known for his animal and architectural sculpture. Stewart’s work can be found on major public buildings throughout the United States. Among his most visible commissions are the facade figures on the Los Angeles County Courthouse, created in 1956, and the stone figures on the Scottish Rite Temple on Los Angeles’ Wilshire Boulevard, completed in 1960. Ventura County residents can also see his work at Our Lady of the Assumption Church on Telegraph Road in Ventura, where he created the Stations of the Cross and two side altar figures.
