Looking at what is Now on View, we zoom in on The Fashion of Art Deco, Lifestyle in the Jazz Age. This exhibit displays works from FWMoA's permanent collection alongside pieces from the collection of Don Orban. See how cultural shifts influenced fashion standards a century ago.
This Now on View is revisiting a favored portrait by artist, Marie Goth. This large scale painting is on display in The Fashion of Art Deco, Lifestyle in the Jazz Age.
Today we highlight Dorothy Dehner! While known for her abstract sculptures, Dehner produced several works in ink and watercolor. Check out some of her work in this month's #treasuresfromthevault
