Nassau County Museum of Art Showcases the Romantic Fascination of the Sea Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:20 PM PST ROSLYN HARBOR.- Nassau County Museum of Art's (NCMA) newest exhibition portrays the magnetism we feel for bodies of water alongside the dangers, even the terror, that seas often present. This exhibition examines the romantic fascination artists have always had for expanses of water through American and European artists working in many styles from the mid-19th century to the present. Organized by Director Emerita Constance Schwartz, the exhibition opens on Saturday, June 5 and remains on view through Sunday, September 12. The Sea Around Us is sponsored by David Lerner Associates with additional sponsorship by Astoria Federal Savings.

E.G. Bührle Collection of French Impressionism Plans to Move To Kunsthaus Zürich Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:18 PM PST ZURICH.- Today, 60 years after it first saw the light of day, Emil Bührle's is still one of the leading collections of 20th-century art. It focuses on French Impressionist painting, which has always enjoyed vivid interest in Switzerland and is also represented in the Kunsthaus Zürich's own collection. At the Bührle Collection's current home, however, in Zurich's Zollikerstrasse, the private collection had been seen annually by no more than 10,000 visitors before even those numbers dwindled to just a few hundred following the notorious robbery in February of 2008. The Kunsthaus, on the other hand, welcomes between 200,000 and 300,000 guests each year, eager to view its examples of French painting and of the schools that preceded and followed it.

THE WALTERS PRESENTS ~ UNTAMED: THE ART OF ANTOINE-LOUIS BARYE Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:16 PM PST Baltimore, MD - The Walters Art Museum has organized an exhibition of over 160 works devoted to French artist Antoine-Louis Barye (1796–1875), the foremost animal sculptor or animalier of the 19th century.  On view Feb. 11–May 6, 2007, this exhibition will be the first in recent times to emphasize the full range of Barye's production, including not only his well-known bronze sculptures but also his oil paintings, watercolors and sketches.  These pieces are drawn primarily from the Walters' Barye collection, which rivals the Louvre both in scope and significance.  These artworks will reveal the breadth of his subjects from game animals and mythological creatures to animal combat scenes and the human form.  Auguste Rodin was an early pupil, and Barye's work was a source of inspiration to Henri Matisse and Paul Cézanne.  The Walters Art Museum will be circulating an exhibition of highlights from its renowned holdings of Barye's works to The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Okla. from June 1 to Sept. 2, 2007.

Art Institute of Chicago shows "Becoming Edvard Munch ~ Influence, Anxiety, & Myth" Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:08 PM PST CHICAGO, IL- Two potent myths have traditionally defined our understanding of the artist Edvard Munch: that he was mentally unstable, as his iconic work The Scream suggests, and that he was influenced by the contemporary art of France and Germany to the exclusion of his native Norway. The Chicago Art Institute's exhibition Becoming Edvard Munch: Influence, Anxiety, and Myth aims to challenge and overturn these entrenched myths by presenting Munch's paintings, prints, and drawings in relation to those of his European contemporaries. On exhibition 14 February through 26 April, 2009.
