Portraits at foaSOUTH

This exhibit features a selection of portraits from the Festival of Arts’ Permanent Art Collection. A highlight of the exhibit is a series of photographs by Ronald A. Greene, a local doctor and avid photographer who took portraits of Laguna Beach Greeter Eiler Larsen in the late 1940’s to early 1960’s. These iconic images present some of the many theatrical characters that Eiler Larsen had portrayed. Ever since the late 1950’s, this series of Ronald A. Greene’s photographs would greet visitors in the Cottage Restaurant waiting room. In 2012, the Cottage was sold and the entire suite of thirteen photographs were donated to the Festival of Arts by the former owners, John and Robbi Mazza.
