New in the Galleries:

Onya LaTour: Pioneering Modern Art in Indiana
Continuing through May 10, 2015
Gallery of the Art of the Western World, Doris Steinmetz Kellett Endowed Gallery of Twentieth-Century Art, first floor
In 1941 Onya LaTour opened the Indiana Museum of Modern Art near Nashville, Indiana, creating a stir in local art circles. Two works from her personal collection are featured in this installation presented in conjunction with Onya LaTour on view at the Indianapolis Museum of Art this fall, to which the IU Art Museum loaned four pieces.

WWI War Bond Posters
Continuing through May 24, 2015
During World War I, mass-produced color posters encouraged enlistment, helped raise capital for the war effort, and solidified public opinion against the enemy. Two vintage posters for war bonds, one American and one French, are featured: although both depict a German soldier, they have very different styles and impacts.

Nature’s Small Wonders: Photographs by Ansel Adams
Continuing through May 24, 2015
America’s most famous nature photographer, Adams was also an ardent conservationist who served on the board of directors for the Sierra Club for thirty-seven years and was active in the Wilderness Society. He used his dramatic black-and-white photographs to encourage the preservation of America’s natural wonders, particularly those found in the U.S. National Parks.

This installation is on view from January 13 through May 24, 2015, in the Gallery of the Art of the Western World, Doris Steinmetz Kellett Endowed Gallery of Twentieth-Century Art. It is presented in conjunction with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Sycamore Land Trust, whose mission is to protect the beautiful natural and agricultural landscape of southern Indiana.

Finding Atget
Continueing though May 24, 2015
French photographer Eugène Atget’s imagery mixed a nineteenth-century aesthetic with a modern sensibility, garnering him admiration and respect from the young Berenice Abbott, who became his champion. This installation features a vintage print by Atget and several later prints from his original negatives.

Women behind the Camera
Continuing through May 24, 2015
The world of professional photography in the early- to mid-twentieth century was largely a men’s club, but a small group of talented women paved the way for future generations of female “lensmen.” Portraits by three of these pioneers—Imogen Cunningham, Berenice Abbott, and Toni Frissell—are featured.

Pop Textiles
Continuing through May 24, 2015
Textiles designed by Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Lindner, and Claes Oldenburg are featured. These bold and inventive compositions on fabric blur the boundaries between fine art, craft, and industrial production.

Robert Salmon: Romantic Painter
Continuing through May 24, 2015
Two paintings by Robert Salmon help elucidate the artist’s foundation in English Romanticism, which continued to inform his painting after his move to Boston in 1828.

Focalpoint: Fantastic African Hats: Power, Passage, and Protection
Continuing through May 24, 2015
These twelve richly embellished African hats celebrate the prestige of their owners, evoke complex histories of trade and commerce, and provide protection from harm. Organized by Brittany Sheldon, graduate assistant for the arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas.

Mother’s Day Special

In this 2 hour jewelry making session you will make a ring with any stone you choose from our crystal shop!

This class includes:

One Healing Crystal
Magical Thinking: 101 mini-book
Complimentary wine or tea
All the supplies needed to create your one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry

This class is taught by jewelry designer and healing crystal expert, Jessica Ann Miller. Because she a crystal healer, you will be able to ask any question you have ever had about crystals!

How the piece is made:

Electroforming is a type of modern alchemy where particles of copper form a coating through electrodeposition. Pure copper is known to amplify crystal energy, boosts flow of chi and brings vitality and luck. Once you design your piece, you leave it with us to complete the electroforming process. It takes 12-36 hours to get a nice copper deposition. You can take a peak in our studio to see what’s ‘cooking’. Your jewelry piece will be available for pick up approximately one week after class date.

The museum will provide a special Spring tour of the collection for children ages four through ten and a concurrent walking tour of campus art and architecture for families, weather permitting.
