STILL LIFE: FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION
Exhibition Date: January 10, 2015 to March 11, 2015
Reception Date: Saturday, January 10, 2015 - 2:00pm
In contrast to the two exhibitions exploring nature, tamed and untamed. Exhibitions Director, Lisa Young examines interiors through the historically rich tradition of the still life. In riotous color or in cool grey, with shapes distinct or impressionistic, the still life captures the mind in contemplation. Recent acquisitions are featured, along with works by Mark Tobey, Walter Isaacs, Maxine Martell, Spencer Moseley and contemporary artists drawn from the museum's permanent collection.
