The exhibition will also include examples of O'Keeffe's paintings and works on paper that mark major moments in the development of her art: the early abstract drawings, the first landscapes in New Mexico from the 1930s, and the late architectural studies of her homes at the Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update

Animal Menagerie - Portland Museum of Art

Aug 16 thru Nov 09, 2008. Portland. The Portland Museum of Art features "Animal Menagerie." From the earliest examples of American art until the present day, images of animals serve as vehicles for meaning. Native and exotic creatures alike help artists to explore issues of identity: the quality and nature of being American or foreign, human or beast, wild or civilized, innocent or worldly. These are all issues that artists grapple with in American Menagerie. The exhibition will feature 25 works drawn primarily from the Museum's permanent collection and will feature artists such as Dahlov Ipcar, Bernard Langlais, Will Barnet, Wendy Kindred, Scott Leighton, and Edward Hicks.
