From the Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Debora Moore's research and experimentation, along with her skills as a colorist, has led to her realistic glass renderings of flora--brilliantly sculpting soft textures in a physically hard medium. See her work #nowonview at #fwmoa!
With Election Day tomorrow, what better artist to spring from the #fwmoa vault than Thomas Nast, whose political cartoons popularized the images of Republican elephant, Democratic donkey, and Uncle Sam!
The leaves are scattering and we're scumbling at the #fwmoa. Learn about this painting technique in our #arttermtuesday this month!
Haunting memorials and hopeful reminders, Osamu James Nakagawa's Witness Tree photographs explore the shaping of landscapes by humans. See them #nowonview at #fwmoa.
New acquisitions are in and the #fwmoa curatorial staff are excited! Assoc. Curator of Special Collections & Archives Lauren Wolfer interviewed Kimberly Thomas to learn how she brings her miniature glass sculptures to life.
Artist Ralph Stuckman is all about trying new things, both in life and in art! See how he lets his creativity flow into notecards and postcards in this #letstalkshop.
Libraries aren't the only institutions with archives! Many institutions, including #fwmoa, have designated collections they preserve and promote. Meet the artists currently in our Special Collections & Archives in this post:
Okay, we'll admit it, we're obsessed. After two staff picks, Pat Perry's work is also the focus of our #nowonview at #fwmoa. Dive into this in-depth look at his work to see why everyone at the Museum is resonating with these especially terrific paintings.
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites, or, picking the artworks they love the most! Meet new hire Amy Hanna, who joined our Development team, through her current favorite #nowonview in "Especially Terrific: New Paintings by Pat Perry".
