DESCRIPTION:
This unique combination of exhibitions showcases nature-inspired art across the generations and the decades - from the self-taught 20th-century artist Francis Lee Jaques, to contemporary interpretations by three Master of Fine Arts graduates from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). "The Shape of Nature: The Art of Francis Lee Jaques" features 80 original paintings, drawings, and sculptures, as well as numerous books, photographs and artifacts from Jaques' life and times. "An Archive, A Forest," features artworks by recent graduates John Bell, Ginny Maki and Branden Martz, three Minneapolis-based artists whose work deals with interpreting and defining themselves in relation to nature. The Bell Museum's dioramas and scientific collections inspired this exhibition that includes drawings, installation, paintings, photography, sculpture and objects from the museum’s collections.
