Guido Cagnacci (1601–1663), The Repentant Magdalene, ca. 1660−63, oil on canvas, 90 1/4 x 104 3/4 inches, Norton Simon Art Foundation, Pasadena, California.

Cagnacci’s “Repentant Magdalene”: An Italian Baroque Masterpiece from the Norton Simon Museum

The Frick Collection, 1 East 70th Street, New York, NY

October 25, 2016 - January 22, 2017

Guido Cagnacci, one of the most eccentric painters of seventeenth-century Italy, was infamous for his unconventional art and lifestyle. His works, mostly religious in subject, are known for their unabashed eroticism and defiantly sensual attitudes. The Repentant Magdalene, one of Cagnacci’s greatest masterpieces, has not been seen outside California since its acquisition by the Norton Simon Museum in 1982. Introduced to New York audiences for the very first time, this work of art is a testament to Cagnacci’s forgotten genius, and showcases his immediately recognizable artistic language.

Paint the Revolution will be the most comprehensive exhibition of Mexican modernism to be seen in the United States in more than 70 years and will feature an extraordinary range of images, from portable murals and paintings, to photographs, books and broadsheets.

Visitors will behold a spectacular range of work by artists who are well known in Mexico but who will become fresh discoveries to most Americans. Work by great talents such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufina Tamayo will be incorporated into the historical context of Mexican art during these forty years.

Branding the American West: Paintings and Films, 1900-1950

Chrysler Museum of Art, 1 Memorial Place, Norfolk, VA

Members’ Preview Party, 6:00 - 10:00pm Friday, October 28, 2016

October 29, 2016 - February 5, 2017

Hollywood’s mythic portrayal of the Wild West as a world of violence, danger and action has seeped into our nation’s collective psyche and played a role in forming our American identity. This exhibition explores the changing brands of the American West during a complicated time of modernization, war, and racial unrest, and challenges the popularly believed myths about the West. Paintings and sculptures are juxtaposed with film clips of how the West was branded by Hollywood, featuring 100 works by artists including Frederic Remington, Charles Marion Russell, N.C. Wyeth, members of the New Mexican Taos Society of Artists, and Maynard Dixon. The Chrysler Museum invites visitors to stand before works where artists raced to capture a moment before it was gone forever, and to walk the line between the myth and history the American Southwest.
