Discover the mythical allure of dragons through the newest rotation of our Chinese Collection: "Where Dragons Dwell: Symbols of Status in Clothing and Collecting!" 🐉

On view beginning this Saturday, June 10, this installation presents Chinese and Japanese garments adorned with dragon designs, alongside a hanging scroll depicting the mountainous domain for the mythological dragons and a Scholar's Rock. Together, the collective imagery highlights the belief that benevolent dragons would ascend from the sea in springtime to bring the life-giving blessing of rain. 🌧️

Visit Niblack Gallery, on the First Floor, to marvel at these legendary creatures and their symbolism. 🐲

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.

Today is Robert Motherwell's birthday! 🎂🎉

Born January 24, 1915, Motherwell was a leading figure in Abstract Expressionism and one of the youngest members of the New York School (alongside artists such as Willem de Kooning, Jackson Po***ck, and Mark Rothko). Over a 50-year career, the artist prolifically explored abstraction, completing large-scale color field compositions to emotive, action paintings. 🎨

You can view Motherwell's work, "Personage," 1943, in our First Floor American Galleries and in "New York Vanguard: Promised Gifts of Stephen and Madeline Anbinder," opening on Saturday, February 18, in our Second Floor Special Exhibition Gallery.

Learn more about our upcoming exhibitions on our webpage.✨

Happy Birthday to Paul Cézanne, born January 19, 1839. 🎂🎉

Hailed by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso as "the father of us all," Cézanne is one of the most influential Post-Impressionist artists.

Though his artistic legacy is well established now, Cézanne's art was often misunderstood and discredited during his lifetime. An innovator of his time, Cézanne challenged the classical painting style by reducing his subjects to basic forms. He was also the first artist to introduce multiple viewpoints in a single composition. The artist's inventive practice laid the foundations for many 20th-century art movements, including Fauvism and Cubism.

During your next visit, stop by Baum Gallery, on the First Floor, to view Cézanne's work alongside many of the artists he inspired.
