Cuban Art at the Harn Museum of Art
Discover the work of Cuban artists by visiting the Harn Museum of Art and exploring two new exhibitions: The Art of Cundo Bermúdez and Spotlight: Latin America.
8,000 Pounds of Snapper
“We figured we needed to catch 8,000 pounds of Red Snapper to break even.” The painter waves his tan sailor arms, righting his glass of Scotch mid gesture. Not a drop breaches the rim. The painter sits in his studio with a half-killed fifth of Macallan 12 Year. Paintings from a recent trip to Cuba circle his feet.
19th Century Masterworks at The Cummer
Most art produced during the nineteenth-century was anchored in the ideologies set forth by well-established academies, despite a changing artistic climate where many artists challenged the relevance of such a rigid system of teaching, promotion, and patronage.
Heroes & Battlefields
Even during wartime, when all sketching was prohibited without special permission, James McBey (1883 – 1959) continued to diligently observe and record the events that unfolded before him.
Artistic Alchemy
From street walls to stretched canvases, what you see in Shaun Thurston’s art is a search for equilibrium.
Heather Aguilera’s Healing Art
Even as I blink to adjust my eyes from the bright summer sun to the dimly lit interior of Spring Park Coffee in Green Cove Springs I immediately spot Heather Aguilera. Her stylishly bohemian dress, layers of funky jewelry, and long flowing tresses all cry out, “there’s an artist in the building!” However, Aguilera’s medium is quite different from that of most artists: her canvas is the human body.
