Blakelock: By the Light of the Moon Art Exhibit
<p>Forgeries, mental illness, intrigue, and rapid fame—the dramatic circumstances of Ralph Albert Blakelock’s life often overshadow the merits of his work. <em>By the Light of the Moon</em> will feature eight exceptional artworks by Blakelock from the museum collection. Born in 1847, his early paintings were highly detailed landscapes inspired by Hudson River School painters. After traveling to the American West and becoming familiar with Barbizon painters, Blakelock developed the atmospheric landscapes for which he is known. Drenched in darkness and silvery moonlight, his thickly painted landscapes have a distinctive otherworldly quality. This exhibition will explore Blakelock’s body of work and how his interest in spiritualism is reflected in his artistic practice.</p> 2021-01-22 17:00:00 -06001/22/2110:00 a.m.Figge Art MuseumDavenport -
Haitian Masterworks Art Exhibit
<p>The Figge Art Museum is home to one of the largest collections of Haitian art in the United States. In 1967, Dr. Walter E.

The collection continues to grow through strategic purchases and gifts, including the Figge’s recent acquisition <em>N’ap naje ansamn, n’ap vole ansamn</em>, by contemporary Haitian- American artist Didier William. <em>Haitian Masterworks</em> will feature significant as well as rarely exhibited works from the Haitian collection by Hector Hyppolite, Wilson Bigaud, Nacius Joseph, Georges Liautaud, Frantz Zéphirin, and Edouard Duval-Carrié, among others. Mediums including painting, beading, metalwork, and mixed media sculpture will be included. This exhibition will focus on prevalent themes in Haitian art, including spirituality, transformation, the natural world, everyday life, and Haitian history.</p> 2021-01-22 17:00:00 -06001/22/2110:00 a.m.Figge Art MuseumDavenport -
