Come at lunchtime and stay for a quick (sound) bite in the galleries. Museum staff members serve up free, informal ten-minute looks at some of the Museum's many masterpieces as well as some lesser-known but equally delicious nibbles. Lucky Charms: Chinese good luck symbols.
Exhibition: Dutch Utopia: American Artists in Holland, 1880-1914, Feb. 5-May 2
Approximately 70 paintings and works on paper have been lent from collections throughout the United States and Europe for this exhibition, which has been organized by the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia. This exhibition features art by renowned American artists such as Gari Melchers, William Merritt Chase, John Singer Sargent, and Robert Henri, as well as other painters, including Cincinnati-born artists John Twachtman and Elizabeth Nourse.
Exhibition: Elizabeth Nourse: Motherhood in Holland and France, Mar. 12-May 23
The expatriate painter Elizabeth Nourse (1859–1938) left Cincinnati in 1887 to study, live, and work in Europe for the rest of her life. This small selection of paintings and sketchbooks from local collections highlights her interest in depicting mothers and children. A painting by Nourse is also featured in the exhibition Dutch Utopia. |
