See all- Rockwell Wyeth Rodin Frank Lloyd Wright & Lunch on a Lake & Gardens in Lakeland!Red Ginger, Melbourne, FL
Thursday, May 9
Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth were two of the biggest names in American art of the 20th century. This original, large-scale exhibition — exclusive to the Polk Museum and taking over our main first-floor galleries — features 40 original paintings by Rockwell and Wyeth, two singular and beloved American icons who created their most familiar images full-size in paint before the scenes were scaled for print publication. In addition to the paintings, the exhibition includes an installation of the complete, spectacular array of the 321 Saturday Evening Post covers to which Rockwell contributed between 1916 and 1963.
Rockwell/Wyeth: Icons of Americana is curated and organized in partnership with the National Museum of American Illustration, Newport, RI. www.AmericanIllustration.org, and the American Illustrators Gallery, New York, NY. www.AmericanIllustrators.com. Single Source Exhibition organized by: PAN Art Connections.
In the late nineteenth century, there was no sculptor who captured the world’s imagination like Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). Renowned for his ability to breathe into the bronze medium a sense of universal humanity and emotional truth like no artist before him, Rodin was celebrated in his own lifetime and continues to draw fans to this day.
Even those who may not know the name “Rodin” know Rodin’s work; his timeless Thinker and his Gates of Hell are emblems of modern art history and underline how Rodin mastered the ability to convey movement and form with a touch and style uniquely his own.
Rodin’s sculptures first arrived at the Polk Museum of Art for a major exhibition in 2022, the largest showcase of sculptures in the Museum’s history. Now, fourteen of Rodin’s bronzes have returned as part of an exciting long-term agreement with the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation. The loans coincide purposefully with the Museum’s 14,000-square-foot expansion, set to open in Fall 2024, with all fourteen sculptures eventually installed throughout the space of the Museum.
