Selections from the Permanent Collection
Artists, especially painters, utilize their knowledge of color to portray mood, light, depth, and point of view in a work of art. However, human response to color is unique to each individual and is deeply rooted in personal and cultural experiences.
Technicolor Summer includes selections from the museum’s permanent collection that evoke a celebration of sorts through vibrant color, intense energy, and enlarged scale. Whether it be the expectancy of birth as in Matt Kleberg’s 37th Hour or the intimacy of Samuel Taylor’s A Letter to My Father, the selected works exude life in saturated levels of color.
