Orlando — Four entirely different exhibits will launch the re-opening of the Orlando Museum of Art. Here’s what to look for.
Cathedrals of Florida: Masterworks by Clyde Butcher
Clyde Butcher’s black-and-white nature photos, in the 19th-century style of the Hudson River Painters. That “cathedrals” in the name? Nature, including from the Everglades.
Nearly two dozen paintings from the 16th century through the 20th, including headliners such as Titian and Rubens. Art novices like me will especially enjoy the "focus on cultivating an expert's eye and learning to identify the characteristics of style, technique, and authorship." I love to learn while I look.
Luces y Sombras: Mexican Photography from the Bank of America Collection
Olé! See 100+ Mexican works, new and nearly a century old — in photos by Mexicans and visitors.
Treasures from the Museum & Gallery at Bob Jones University: Five Centuries of Old Master Painting
Why travel to New York or Rome? You can get a dose of the finest right here in Orlando. Sixty works from the Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery cover centuries 14 through 19, especially Italian Baroque masterpieces, and plenty of others too. Again, we’ll have help knowing what to appreciate via a "focus on guiding visitors through the fascinating narrative subjects of these works and their rich symbolism."
