The exhibition "Brilliant Exiles" has been on view at two other museums, including the #NationalPortraitGallery, which organized it. But its appearance at the #GeorgiaMuseumOfArt is different because of a unique on-campus partnership. The #UniversityOfGeorgia has a clothing and textile collection from which we were able to borrow items to expand the lens of the show and make visitors' experience richer.

Back in 2022, we organized the exhibition "Wealth and Beauty: Pier Francesco Foschi and Painting in Renaissance Florence," the first monographic show on the now obscure but once fashionable 16th-century Florentine painter. https://georgiamuseum.org/exhibit/wealth-and-beauty-pier-francesco-foschi-and-painting-in-renaissance-florence/

Now the Florentine version of the show is open, at the #Accademia. https://www.galleriaaccademiafirenze.it/en/expositions/pier-francesco-foschi-1502-1567-pittore-fiorentino/

Have fun doing a compare and contrast!

Rebecca Rutstein's "Shimmer," a large sculpture that responds to human movement with twinkling multicolored lights, is one of the most popular works in our collection. You can learn more about it in this story from WPVI, in Philadelphia, including Rutstein's inspiration (deep-sea life) and methods.

Who was Cecilia Beaux? Here's a nice article on her interesting life story that features our painting "Twilight Confidences" (about to be on loan to the exhibition “Women Masters, Old and Modern,” on view at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid, Spain), October 31, 2023 - February 4, 2024).

Such a nice article on Leon Polk Smith from @artnews. https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/features/leon-polk-smith-abstraction-explore-identity-race-1234674406

We have a work of his in our collection that isn't dated but was given in 1946, meaning it was created that year or earlier. Apologies for the not-great photograph.

Who IS David Odo, our new director, who started on June 26? He was nice enough to do a Q&A with us despite a whole lot of meetings on his schedule. https://georgiamuseum.org/gmoa_blog/get-to-know-our-new-director-a-qa-with-david-odo/
