Up Next at Cornell Fine Arts Museum
On Sept. 21, the museum will unveil three new
exhibits that will run through Dec. 29. Here’s a
look at what’s coming up for the Cornell Fine Arts
Museum at Rollins College.
African American Art in the 20th Century
This traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian
American Art Museum features nearly 50 paintings
and sculptures by 32 African American artists
who came to prominence between the Harlem
Renaissance and the Civil Rights Movement.
Ut Pictura Poesis: Walt Whitman and the Poetry of Art
To mark the bicentennial of Walt Whitman’s
birthday, this exhibit was curated in collaboration
with Rollins College Archives and Special
Collections at Olin Library and the English
Department. It examines the impact of Whitman’s
work on American life and culture by drawing
connections between his ideas, motifs, symbolism,
persona and contemporary artistic responses.
At Leisure: Images of Repose from the Permanent
Collection
This exhibit includes art from the museum’s
permanent collection. The selection of works by
European and American artists from the 17th to
the early 20th century depicts leisurely activities in
private settings and in nature to explore moments of
respite and enjoyment.
