FRED JONES JR. MUSEUM OF ART A Life in Looking June 24 – December 31
The renowned art historian Dr. Creighton Eddy Gilbert (1924–2011), a scholar of Italian Renaissance art and one of the foremost authorities on Michelangelo, spent nearly seven decades dedicated to scholarship, collecting, and teaching. In 2005, Dr. Eric Lee, a former student of Gilbert’s and then-director of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, encouraged his mentor to leave his private collection to the museum. The bequest, 272 objects, spans the fourteenth to twentieth centuries with an emphasis on Old Master prints and drawings from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods. Gilbert’s wide-ranging interests are evident in this exhibition, guest curated by University of Oklahoma art history faculty members Dr. Allison Palmer and Dr. Erin Duncan-O’Neill. Through themes of religion, architecture, allegory, portraiture, and humor, A Life in Looking: The Creighton Gilbert Collection explores a collection built on seven decades of expertise by this influential scholar, educator, and connoisseur.
Patrick Nagatani – Nuclear Enchantment August 5, 2021 – January 30, 2022
Over a 40-year career, Patrick Nagatani (1945-2017) created a diverse body of work that pushed the contours of photography. Constant themes of his work include truth in photography, the looping of time back on itself, magic realism, visual joy, apocalyptic moments, atomic bombs, photographic puns, color for healing, and Japanese internment. In Nuclear Enchantment 46 | MOORE MONTHLY | AUGUST 2021
Nagatani continued to fabricate reality as he explored the true after-effects of uranium mining, radioactive mine tailings, missiles, and nuclear waste. In his artist statement, Nagatani wrote, "My intentions are to raise public consciousness about the effects of New Mexico's nuclear industry that continues to grow despite the damage it has already caused and will continue to bring to the state. The series, Nuclear Enchantment, attempts to awaken the many New Mexicans who still believe nuclear power poses no threat and that defense spending promotes the economy. Culturally and geographically connected to New Mexico, it is perceived by the elite powers as a place that can be abused and even reduced to rubble."
