Pursuing Perfection:
Highlights & Select Loans from the Museum Collection
Closed July 30, 2010
Oscar Wilde quipped, “It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection.” The featured selections from the permanent collection comprise a diverse group, spanning five centuries and several cultures. But a common thread connects Titian with Hans Hofmann and the artists representing the countless styles, genres and epochs in between. Each sought to convey the perfect expression of an artistic impulse – what Robert Henri called “the art spirit.” This exhibition is originally curated by Becky Shields, Curatorial Fellow.

Spanish Baroque in the New World:
Sibyls from Zurbarán's Studio
The Twelve Sibyls were pagan prophetesses adopted into Christian iconography during the medieval period. Each foretold one of the principle events in the life of Christ. In 1508–12, Michelangelo painted five Sibyls on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. However, after the Council of Trent in the early 1560s restricted pagan imagery, they were less common in art. Although the provenance of this series is unknown, the unusual choice of subject may be explained by the foreign destination. In the background of each painting, a small narrative scene represents the event in Christ’s life prophesied by the Sibyl.
