Museum of Modern Art October 30, 2005–January 23, 2006 http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2005/odilon_redon.html Caught between description and dream, the felt and the imagined, French artist Odilon Redon, whose career bridged the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, transformed the natural world into nightmarish visions and bizarre fantasies. Closely allied with the Symbolist movement, Redon offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical and mythological subjects; created a universe of strange hybrid creatures; and presented landscape in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, melancholic floating faces, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life, and velvety black or colored swirls of atmosphere. With a recent gift from the Ian Woodner family, The Museum of Modern Art is now the site of the most significant body of the artist's work outside France, and this book will showcase the full range of Redon's varied oeuvre--charcoal "noirs," lumin

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum has announced a series of presentations featuring works inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s two residences in Northern New Mexico. The first of these exhibits, “Georgia O’Keeffe: Abiquiu Views,” opened in Santa Fe on February 7, 2014. It features more than a dozen images of the cottonwoods that grow along the Chama River, a subject she painted repeatedly from the late 1940s through the 1950s, with other views from her home and studio at Abiquiu. Over the course of the year, the Museum will explore O’Keeffe’s use of her residence as a source for her artwork. The exhibits include her original studio worktable, arranged with her art materials and personal effects. Subsequent presentations in April, May, and September will focus on her garden, the iconic patio with the black door, and the landscape surrounding her home at Ghost R

As one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954) fundamentally altered the course of modern art with his stylistic innovations. Across a succession of stylistic periods, Matisse aimed to discover the “essential character of things” through art that expressed balance and serenity. He experimented throughout his career with abandoning conventional perspective and form in favor of dramatically simplified areas of pure color, flat shapes and decorative patterns. The majority of the artwork in Matisse: Life in Color, Masterworks from the Baltimore Museum of Ar
