The Cornell Fine Arts Museum is pleased to announce the publication of its catalog to accompany the current exhibition, Corps Exquis. Written by CFAM director Luanne McKinnon, the beautiful Corps Exquis: Fragments from a History of the Human Form ca. 1585-2006 incorporates poems as introductions to the works of art. Each poem literally “unfolds,” and opens onto an artwork from the exhibition. Like the exhibition, the poetry selections range from the 16th century to the 21st, with poems by William Shakespeare, William Butler Yeats, Walt Whitman, Rainer Maria Rilke, Denise Levertov, Louise Glück, and Mark Strand, among others. A poem by Mark Jarman, who read at Rollins as a part of this year’s Winter With the Writers, closes the collection. The catalog also includes commentary on each piece in the exhibition.
This stunning publication is available for purchase at the Museum for $25. Faculty and staff receive a 10 percent discount on this and all merchandise.
Seniors in the Department of Art and Art History present their best work in “art with a capital A,” at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum through May 12. The exhibition features a wide variety of juried student work, including photography, printmaking, bookmaking, installation and painting, much of which will be for sale.
At the invitation of the Consulate General of Japan, The Cornell Fine Arts Museum is hosting the Florida premiere of “Painting for Joy: New Japanese Painting in the 1990s,” on view through July 6. Thirty paintings from The Japan Foundation in Tokyo exemplify the progressive art of Japan in the 1990s. The exhibition demonstrates how the art of painting has evolved alongside today’s rapidly changing world of digitaliztio and virtual reality. Nine artists represented int ehexhibitio have redefined international paiting through their appropriation of a comic book aesthetic, revisions to abstraction and adaptations of popular culture.
