What do you think Florine Stettheimer wrote in her painting, "Sun," 1931? 🤔🖼️ Swipe for an up-close look and let us know in the comments! ➡️
Don't miss the opportunity to dive into the fascinating life of this American artist NEXT Friday, June 9, at 6 pm with Stephen Brown, Curator at the Jewish Museum (The Jewish Museum). In 2017, Brown co-curated the survey exhibition, "Florine Stettheimer: Painting Poetry," presented at the Jewish Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO - Art Gallery of Ontario).

On this , we would like to share a story from the Norton's history.
Oliver Willcox Norton (1839 - 1920), father of Museum founder Ralph Norton, along with General Daniel Butterfield, wrote the composition for "Taps" — the bugle call sounded to signal the end of the military day. Oliver Willcox "O.W." Norton later became the very first solider to sound "Taps" for the Union forces in the Civil War. The tune quickly spread across the Union Army and was eventually adopted by some Confederate forces, as well. It wasn't long before "Taps" was played at the gravesites of fallen soldiers, serving as a truly magnificent tribute to their service.
Later in his military career, O.W. Norton was selected as brigade bugler and headquarters’ flag bearer for the 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry, 3rd Brigade, fighting in the Battle of Gettysburg, as he would later write about in his book, "Army Letters," which was published in 1903. During the Civil War, Norton participated in 27 battles, retiring from military service in 1865. While we celebrate today's holiday, we are forever grateful to those who fought and gave it all for the freedoms that we enjoy. 🇺🇸

Crowd around: We are shining a spotlight on Ghanian artist, Cornelius Annor (). 🌟
Annor, who studied at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design, is known for his depictions of domestic scenes. His paintings often use his family's history and traditions. Annor incorporates Ghanian fabrics as well as poses from archival family photographs in his compositions. The artist describes this process as a way to “reenact... past memories which seem lost, absent, forgotten or unknown.”
A few weeks ago, our Teen Collective () led spotlight tours during Art After Dark, including Annor's "Adanfo Pa," 2022.
On your next visit, stop by Davis Gallery (First Floor) to see this crowd-favorite. 😍

“The function of painting is to make poetry visible...to render thought visible.” -René Magritte
Tomorrow from 6-9 pm in the Stiller Auditorium, we will be hosting a lecture entitled, "What Art Tells Us About the Brain: The Surreal Paintings of René Magritte."
This journey through the paintings of René Magritte will reveal your own visual brain in action: figures suddenly are seen as background, only to reverse places in the next glance; transparency battles with opacity; objects are distorted, not by the hand of the artist, but by your brain’s drive to “make sense out of a scene.” Russell D. Hamer, Ph.D., is a visual neuroscientist whose current work focuses on the brain mechanisms enlisted when viewing visual art, including higher level interpretative, aesthetic, and emotional processes in the brain.
This lecture is FREE with Museum Admission!

: The statues of mythological figures Diana and Actaeon reside in the niches of the original 1941 Art Deco entrance to the Museum. Architect Marion Sims Wyeth, working closely with founder Ralph Norton, commissioned Paul Manship to design the sculptures. Manship is perhaps best known for his statue in New York’s Rockefeller Center, "Prometheus" (1933).
Although the orientation and finish has changed over the past 82 years, "Diana" and "Actaeon" have remained a constant presence on South Olive Avenue façade.

The 1960s was an era of radical change, mirrored in the fashion photography of the period. Characteristic of this time were revolutions in fashion, youth culture, and pop music, as well as a softening of the class divides of preceding decades. With changing attitudes and the introduction of the Pill, Europe and America witnessed a time of sexual liberation. The 1960s saw the birth of models as celebrities. New types of models such as Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, and Veruschka—this last appearing in Michelangelo Antonioni’s legendary 1966 film Blow-up—became household names. The April 1965 issue of Harper’s Bazaar was guest-edited by Richard Avedon: the cover featured a close-up of British model Jean Shrimpton with her face encircled by a Matisse-like pink cutout that vaguely suggested the curves of an astronaut’s helmet. Fashion photography captured the zeitgeist, covering elements from the Space Age to hippie culture. Thanks to the ubiquity of air travel, photographers set off to exotic places for their fashion shoots. Hiro’s famous photograph of Tilly Tizzani with a blue scarf was photographed in the West Indies; Franco Rubartelli shot Veruschka in Yves Saint Laurent’s famous safari dress in the Central African Republic. But the epicenter of sixties style, culture, and fashion was Swinging London, defined as much by David Bailey and Twiggy as it was by the Beatles and the miniskirt. “A Personal View on High Fashion & Street Style. Photographs from the Nicola Erni Collection, 1930s To Now” opens to the public on October 8! Don’t miss your opportunity to see this incredible collection, on view publicly for the first time EVER.

Can you see it? 🔍 The special medium of this piece, a mixture of refractive glass microspheres and acrylic paint, gives the artwork a unique glittering appearance. This medium is found within the paint used in road markers. It may appear as if the artwork is constantly morphing as the spectator moves around the sculpture due to the nature of the medium used.

If you have ever seen one of Nick Cave’s Soundsuits, you’ll know that these sculptures come in a rainbow of colors, textures, shapes, and materials. But did you know they are also meant to be worn? Inspired by Carnival, Mardi Gras, and West African traditions, Nick Cave creates works of art that are equal parts sculpture and costume. While these works are visually and auditorily stunning, they are rooted in a much greater meaning. Cave created wearable sculpture that concealed the wearer’s identity while simultaneously exploring identity, costume, and masquerade.
