This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

 

This exhibition is presented by Inasmuch Foundation.

Coming to the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in the summer of 2023 is a major exhibition on sculptor Auguste Rodin, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Recognized as one of the greatest sculptors since the Renaissance, Rodin pioneered an approach to his art that aimed not only to capture the physicality of his subjects but also their psychology. Organized thematically, True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism delves into the Classical influences on Rodin’s sculpture, the artist’s focus on portraiture, and his exploration of movement and the human body.  

The over 60 works by Rodin in the exhibition are contextualized by additional works by his fellow Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne. Curated by Leah Lehmbeck and drawing entirely from LACMA’s collection, True Nature features not only sculptures (in both bronze and marble), but also paintings, prints, and photography by Rodin and his contemporaries. In all, the 100 works of art in the exhibition tell a rich story of Rodin’s sculpture and its place in fin-de-siècle France.

It's April Fools Day! 🃏 OKCMOA's 2015 exhibition "Intent to Deceive" played the ultimate trick on museum-goers around the world.  Several ingenious art forgers during the 20th century were profiled in this exhibition, representing some of the most infamous scandals of our times. The exploits of Han van Meegeren, Elmyr de Hory, and Eric Hebborn shook the art world, garnering each of them worldwide notoriety. John Myatt and Mark Landis have been in the news for their prolific and stylistically diverse art frauds, landing one in jail.  Included in each forger’s profile were their original works, personal effects and ephemera, photographs, film clips, and representations of the material and techniques used to create these convincing artworks.

Created to commemorate “Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem,” a 1999 exhibition in Israel, the “Jerusalem Cylinders” were inspired by the jagged walls of the Citadel in the Old City.  To create the crystal forms, large rectangular slabs of glass were cast, then broken into pieces with a chisel and hammer. As a final step, the crystals were carefully fused onto vessels, which required the diligent choreography of a highly skilled team.  View the beautiful “Jerusalem Cylinders” at OKCMOA’s “Chihuly Then and Now” exhibition!  --  @chihulystudio
