Drawing on artworks from across cultures and in a range of mediums—including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures—the Dayton Art Institute’s exhibition considers how images drawn from the Bible invite us to see “the old, old story” anew.
The quilts presented in this traveling exhibition are graphically striking examples that embody a sense of “wall power.” The American Folk Art Museum has been at the forefront of the movement to bring recognition to quilts as a major art form with deep roots in American life and experience. See it all in person at the Dayton Art Institute.
The Meiji period encompassed great change, as traditional institutions gave way to political and social upheavals, along with the Westernization of aspects of Japanese culture. The photographs in this exhibition highlight such changes, from personal and private images to those made for a newly established tourist trade.
This exhibition features numerous photographic formats and processes: from early processes like wet-plate collodion, to lensless ones like chemigram, to experimental processes like solarization.
