Blossom: The Art of Flowers


Blossom: The Art of Flowers

March 16 - May 20
Arnold Hall, Lower Level
Free with Museum admission

 
Flowers have been perennially portrayed by artists for centuries.  Perhaps best known in classical art are the flowers featured in 16th and 17th century Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings.  Flowers continue to serve as an inspiration and source of imagery.  Today, flowers inspire artist as much as ever, as evidenced by the art of the late Susan K. Black and members of botanical art organizations worldwide.  

Blossom is the premiere presentation of a juried exhibition of paintings depicting and interpreting flowers of all kinds.  From over 5,000 entries from around the world,  75 have been selected for this splendid exhibition.    

This exhibit is organized by the Susan K. Black Foundation.
