Up Next at Cornell Fine Arts Museum On Sept. 21, the museum will unveil three new exhibits that will run through Dec. 29. Here’s a look at what’s coming up for the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College. African American Art in the 20th Century This traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian American Art Museum features nearly 50 paintings and sculptures by 32 African American artists who came to prominence between the Harlem Renaissance and the Civil Rights Movement. Ut Pictura Poesis: Walt Whitman and the Poetry of Art To mark the bicentennial of Walt Whitman’s birthday, this exhibit was curated in collaboration with Rollins College Archives and Special Collections at Olin Library and the English Department. It examines the impact of Whitman’s work on American life and culture by drawing connections between his ideas, motifs, symbolism, persona and contemporary artistic responses.
At Leisure: Images of Repose from the Permanent Collection This exhibit includes art from the museum’s permanent collection. The selection of works by European and American artists from the 17th to the early 20th century depicts leisurely activities in private settings and in nature to explore moments of respite and enjoyment.
