C OLO R A N D C ONS e r VAT ION

O c t o b e r 1 — December 31, 2006

Be inspired by the art of an American master.

This fall, the Memorial Art Gallery is one of only three venues nationwide for a major Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition organized by the Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson. It’s your opportunity to see 27 rarely-seen oil paintings and pastels—among them landscapes, flowers, still-lifes and abstractions—from all periods of O’Keeffe’s prodigious career.

It’s the first O’Keeffe exhibition ever in Rochester, where it will also include photographs of O’Keeffe on loan from George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. It’s also the first exhibition ever to focus on O’Keeffe’s painstaking choice of color, her studio methods and her involvement in conservation issues.

Don’t miss the last stop for this extraordinary show.

In the first decades of the 20th century, American Jewish artists enjoyed unprecedented freedoms, even as they faced harsh economic and political realities.

My America speaks to the individualism of these artists as they reacted to their worlds—past and present, social and political, Jewish and secular—and as they claimed this country as their own. Through paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures, this major traveling exhibition explores the reactions of a diverse group of artists during a period of social, political and intellectual upheaval.

The 73 works are by such noted artists as Alfred Stieglitz, Ben Shahn, Raphael Soyer, Morris Louis, Theresa Bernstein and Weegee (Arthur Fellig). Some of these artists were born in the US, some came under the influence of European avant- garde influences while studying abroad, and still others were immigrants, particularly from Eastern Europe.

My America is divided into five sections titled “Becoming American,” “Striving for Social Justice,” “Picturing Ourselves,” “Reacting to Tragedy” and “Moving Toward Abstraction.”
