SUMMARY:Docent-Led\, Public Tour - Encounters: Charles Ladson
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led\, Public Tour – Encounters: Charles Ladson\nSunday\, July 12 | 2 p.m. \nTour is included in admission. \n \n  \nRegister for tour\n  \nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour through Encouters: Charles Ladson on the closing day of the exhibit. Encounters: Charles Ladson focuses on the accomplished paintings of this mid-career artist from Macon\, GA. Ladson’s works mix conventional aspects of painting like texture\, layering\, perspective\, transparency\, and detail — to create images that evoke a sense of mystery and dreamlike reality. Like much Southern art\, his paintings have a strong narrative component. Ladson received his BFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York and his MFA degree from the University of Georgia. His work has been exhibited throughout the Southeast\, including the last Red Clay Survey at the Huntsville Museum of Art\, where he won a Merit award.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led\, Public Tour – American Master Illustrators: N.C. Wyeth\, Maxfield Parrish\, Norman Rockwell
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led\, Public Tour – American Master Illustrators: N.C. Wyeth\, Maxfield Parrish\, Norman Rockwell\nSunday\, July 12 | 3 p.m. \nTour included with admission. \n \n  \nRegister for tour\n  \nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of American Master Illustrators: N.C. Wyeth\, Maxfield Parrish\, Norman Rockwell before closing day on July 19. \nThis exclusive exhibition features approximately 35 original works by three of America’s most celebrated and beloved artists — master illustrators Maxfield Parrish\, Norman Rockwell\, and N.C. Wyeth. The stories these artists tell are well-known parts of American history. Parrish used the works of old masters to create his stories\, saying that he used paintings to create his own “world of make-believe.” Rockwell created the small-town America that we all love with his very personal paintings. Wyeth\, the father of artist Andrew Wyeth\, carved out a rich legacy of historical work\, especially his paintings of the West and of Native Americans that illustrated stories in Scribner’s magazines and books. Organized by the National Museum of American Illustration\, Newport\, RI.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: Gloria Vanderbilt and Jonathan Becker
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nGloria Vanderbilt: An Artful Life\nJonathan Becker: Social Work\nFour Decades of Movers\, Shakers and Thinkers\nThursday\, Dec. 3 | 6 p.m. \nRegister for Tour\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Gloria Vanderbilt: An Artful Life and Jonathan Becker: Social Work\, Four Decades of Movers\, Shakers & Thinkers during $5 After 5 PM. The tour is included with general admission but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nAmerican photographer Jonathan Becker began contributing to Vanity Fair magazine on the heels of an especially successful solo exhibition in Chelsea in 1981. His portraits of filmmaker Louis Malle and of his mentor and friend Brassaï featured largely in the pages of prototype for the magazine’s relaunch in 1983. Becker’s specialty in portraits\, photographed by and large on location\, soon became a Vanity Fair staple: Robert Mapplethorpe\, Jack Kevorkian\, Jocelyn Wildenstein\, and Martha Graham\, as well as countless socialites\, artists\, and heads of state. This exhibition features 45 images of movers\, shakers and thinkers taken by Becker between 1976 and 2015\, hand selected by the Museum\, including artists\, authors\, fashion designers\, socialites\, Hollywood celebrities\, and more. \nA mesmerizing photograph of Gloria Vanderbilt by Francesco Scavullo graced the cover of the November 2010 issue of Town & Country magazine with the caption\, “There will never be another Gloria Vanderbilt.” This statement speaks volumes about a woman who was in the public eye throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Many of us are aware of Gloria’s unsettling early childhood\, during which she was caught in the middle of a custody battle between her young\, absent mother\, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt\, and her powerful aunt\, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. We know her from writings concerning her marriages\, romances\, and the tragic loss of her son\, Carter\, to suicide. And\, of course\, we know her from her fashion breakthrough in creating her signature designer jeans in 1978. This exclusive boutique exhibition which not only features memorable photographs of Vanderbilt by Horst\, Jonathan Becker\, Adrián Villeta\, Annie Leibovitz\, and Jack Mitchell\, but also a selection of Vanderbilt’s own artworks\, as well as memorabilia documenting Vanderbilt’s recent association with the Huntsville Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: The World of Frida
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nThe World of Frida\nThursday\, Jan. 7 | 6 p.m. \nRegister for Tour\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of The World of Frida during $5 After 5 PM. The tour is included with general admission but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nThe World of Frida celebrates the culture\, style\, and persona of visionary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)\, an artist who continues to inspire with her story of love\, adventure\, and pain. While Kahlo’s life was short-lived — she died at 47— her story continues to inspire artists of the 21st century. The 95 international artists featured in The World of Frida have reinterpreted many aspects of Kahlo’s life in an array of media — from honoring her self-portraits\, to depicting her love affair with Diego Rivera\, to recognizing her emotional\, physical\, professional and societal struggles. The exhibition is an incredible tribute to an artist who continues to influence millions by the simple fact that she was always true to herself\, no matter the cost.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: Encounters: Althea Murphy-Price
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nEncounters: Althea Murphy Price\nThursday\, Feb. 4 | 6 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Encounters: Althea Murphy-Price during $5 After 5. The tour is at 6 p.m. and is included with general admission but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above.\n\nThe accomplished works of this mid-career printmaker and sculptor from Knoxville\, TN explore the links between individuality and assimilation\, and their influence on culture and personal identity. Murphy-Price often manipulates manufactured synthetic and human hair\, emphasizing its role as embellishment\, as well as its ability to signify racial identity. She explains\, “I am fascinated by the inexplicable link between the subject of hair and its influence on our social culture and personal identity.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: The World of Frida
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nThe World of Frida\nSunday\, Feb. 28 | 2 p.m. & 3 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of The World of Frida on closing day. There will be two tours\, one at 2 p.m. and one at 3 p.m. The tours are included with general admission but registration is required. Learn more and register at the link above. \nThe World of Frida celebrates the culture\, style\, and persona of visionary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)\, an artist who continues to inspire with her story of love\, adventure\, and pain. Celebrated globally today as an iconic\, renegade artist and outspoken feminist\, Kahlo’s life began perilously. Stricken with polio as a child\, and injured as a teenager in a bus accident that left her permanently disabled\, Kahlo was subjected to enormous pain and turmoil early in her life. While recovering from her accident\, Kahlo returned to her childhood hobby — painting. Soothed by the solace of art making\, it was during this period that she decided to become an artist. \nWhile Kahlo’s life was short-lived — she died at 47— her story continues to inspire artists of the 21st century. The 95 international artists featured in The World of Frida have reinterpreted many aspects of Kahlo’s life in an array of media — from honoring her self-portraits\, to depicting her love affair with Diego Rivera\, to recognizing her emotional\, physical\, professional and societal struggles. The exhibition is an incredible tribute to an artist who continues to influence millions by the simple fact that she was always true to herself\, no matter the cost. Organized by the Bedford Gallery\, Walnut Creek\, CA.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: The Elegant Vessel
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nLooking at the Collection: The Elegant Vessel\nSunday\, Mar. 28 | 2 p.m. & 3 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Looking at the Collection: The Elegant Vessel on closing day. There will be two tours\, one at 2 p.m. and one at 3 p.m. The tours are included with general admission but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nAssuming the form of a cup\, bowl\, pitcher\, or vase used for holding liquids or other contents\, the vessel as a utilitarian object dates back millennia. The Elegant Vessel explores this essential form in various guises\, highlighting its inherent beauty as well as its capability to serve as a metaphor for extended meaning. The exhibition includes historical and contemporary works from the Museum’s permanent collection in glass\, ceramic\, metal and wood — all traditional materials used to create functional vessels\, but transformed into fine art in the hands of their skilled makers. Featured artists include Shane Fero\, Benjamin Moore\, Robin Rodgers\, Rosanne Somerson\, and many more. \nThe voluptuous forms of classic vessels provide the inspiration for many artists working today. Dante Marioni reveals a confident mastery of glass in his attenuated blown glass Leaf Vase Pair\, inspired by ancient Mediterranean prototypes. Striking a balance between form\, color\, proportion\, and process are Shane Fero’s engaging flameworked glass Jade Moon Bottle\, Rude Osolnik’s deceptively minimal turned wood Bowl\, and Benjamin Moore’s technically accomplished blown glass Selenium Red Interior Fold Platter. \n\n\n\n\nIn other hands\, the vessel form communicates beyond its inherent timeless beauty. Pat Musick’s steel\, oak and stone wall piece\, Treasure\, captures an essential element of nature in its porous and fluid grasp. And Rosanne Somerson’s mahogany and mother of pearl sculpture\, Lucky at Love\, features a textured iridescent bowl held aloft\, suggesting a metaphorical container for something that cannot be contained.\n\n\n\n\nWith this exhibition we salute the enduring vessel in its many refined possibilities\, and thank those artists whose creative talents have expanded our appreciation and view of this familiar yet iconic form. Organized by HMA.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: Will Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nWill Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist\nThursday\, April 1 | 6 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Will Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist during $5 After 5. The tour is at 6 p.m. and is included with general admission\, but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nThis exhibition presents the work of American artist Will Henry Stevens (1881-1949)\, a lifelong naturalist and important modernist painter known for his two distinct artistic styles: Representational Naturalism and Southern Modernism. Stevens clearly separated his two bodies of work\, exhibiting his rural Southern landscapes and his non-objective abstractions at different galleries. Though seemingly disconnected\, his individual styles are part of a larger whole. Each style was born from the soul of an artist strongly influenced by his reverence for the Southern landscape. \nAlthough born and raised in Indiana\, Stevens spent much of his adult life teaching in Louisiana and summering in western North Carolina. Those environs — particularly the rivers and bayous of New Orleans and the Southern Appalachian Mountains — inspired him to capture the changing landscapes in his colorful and lyrical works. Stevens absorbed diverse influences throughout his career\, including the writings of transcendentalist philosophers Whitman\, Thoreau\, and Emerson\, Chinese Sung Dynasty paintings\, and the art and writings of Wassily Kandinsky. Over his lifetime Stevens constantly experimented with styles and media\, but his work never lost its inextricable link to nature. Organized by HMA.

DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nImpressionist Landscapes from the Sellars Collection\nThursday\, May 6| 6 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Impressionist Landscapes from the Sellars Collection during $5 After 5. The tour is at 6 p.m. and is included with general admission\, but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nImpressionist Landscapes From the Sellars Collection focuses on the strong pull that the natural world had on American women artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition emphasizes the generation of artists who emerged during and in the aftermath of the American Impressionist movement (1880-1920). Many of these artists were the students and sketching partners of the seminal figures in the development of Impressionism in America\, such as William Merritt Chase\, Willard L. Metcalf\, John Henry Twachtman and Robert Henri. \nThis exhibition presents over 30 exquisite landscapes in all seasons\, varying in scenic subject matter from snow-filled views to sun-drenched hillsides\, as well as harbor scenes\, woodland glades\, and desert vistas. Featured artists include Irene Von Horvath\, Edna Lawrence\, Margaret Jordan Patterson\, Alice Pelton\, Lilla Cabot Perry\, and many more. The artists included in the exhibition were primarily concerned with capturing the effects of light\, color\, and atmosphere in their landscapes\, achieved in large measure by painting directly from nature—out-of-doors—rather than in the studio. Though not as well-known as their Impressionist predecessors\, this generation of landscape painters flourished in areas such Old Lyme\, Connecticut; Cape Ann\, Massachusetts; New Hope\, Pennsylvania; and Woodstock\, New York\, as well as elsewhere in New England and across the Southwest.

SUMMARY:Docent-Led Public Tour: Encounters: Greely Myatt
DESCRIPTION:Docent-Led Public Tour:\nEncounters: Greely Myatt\nThursday\, August 5 | 6 p.m. \nREGISTER FOR TOUR\n\nEnjoy a public\, docent-led tour of Encounters: Greely Myatt during $5 After 5. The tour is at 6 p.m. and is included with general admission\, but registration is required. Learn more and register at the button above. \nGreely Myatt is widely recognized for his whimsical sculptural objects and monumental installations made from found materials like flooring\, neon lights\, metal scraps\, and discarded signage scavenged from the greater Memphis area. Engaging with surrealism\, pop\, folk\, and outsider art\, he has developed a compelling visual language of reimagined but recognizable forms\, often reinterpreting literal motifs like comic strips and speech bubbles in his works. In addition to found materials\, Myatt also incorporates elements like plants\, quilts\, and rugs into his pieces to reference his Mississippi childhood\, setting them against abstract elements such as light\, air\, and negative space to spark a visual and mental dialogue. \nMyatt was born in Mississippi and lives and works in West Memphis\, AR. He received his MFA from the University of Mississippi and his BFA from Delta State University\, and is a long-time professor of art at The University of Memphis. Organized by HMA.
