A Crocker exhibit is the first devoted to the works of adventurer and early California artist Jules Tavernier.
“A Balloon in Mid-Air” was painted in 1875 by Jules Tavernier.
“Carmel Mission on San Carlos Day in the Olden Time” is among the nearly 100 pieces in “Jules Tavernier: Artist and Adventurer,” the first solo show of the colorful Jules Tavernier’s work in 140 years. The exhibit runs through May 11 at the Crocker Art Museum.
