...result was an ambitious renovation program that has only just reached completion. Los Angeles-based designer Laurie Steichen revamped cottages and public areas in Provençal style-harmonizing with the spa's Mediterranean architecture-and a new pavilion has been added. There are further expansion plans: a centuries-old chapel is being imported stone by stone from France, and an Orangerie (to be the venue for healthy cooking lessons) will be completed next spring. This grande dame of California spas is now as rejuvenated as its clientele...
...lilies of the valley add character to the room. The music of Fred Astaire, Ethel Merman, Edith Piaf and several others is constantly playing in the background. Mannequins clad in authentic gowns show the viewer what evening dresses looked like in real life. The work of photographers such as Steichen, Man Ray, Beaton and Karsh give us an idea of what kinds of other photographic skills were being developed...

But it's a highly credible assortment, brainy and fun, with samples from most of the major episodes of 20th century photography. There's a fair selection of greatest hits--Edward Steichen's 1924 portrait of Gloria Swanson behind a scrim of black lace, Dorothea Lange's inevitable Migrant Mother of 1936--and some less familiar examples by big names. Everybody has seen Edward Weston's nudes, but probably not the one here, from 1927, which turns a pair of legs, tightly...
