About CMA

: The Cleveland Museum of Art means many things to many people. To the residents of Greater Cleveland, it is a beloved civic asset, a place where the community’s greatest aspirations find expression, and a backdrop for many a wedding photo. The museum is a major force in the regional cultural and intellectual community, helping to keep Northeast Ohio a vibrant center of learning and artistic endeavor. As one of the nation’s top museums, “the Cleveland” has long exhibited leadership in acquisitions, presentation, and education, and its curators have originated many groundbreaking exhibitions. The Cleveland Museum of Art is renowned the world over for the extraordinarily high quality of its holdings (which are in constant demand for loan exhibitions) and for both the intellectual rigor and the public spirit of its daily activity.

Exhibitions

Paul Gauguin: Paris, 1889: October 4, 2009–January 18, 2010

This landmark exhibition gathers about 75 paintings, works on paper, woodcarvings, and ceramics by Paul Gauguin and his contemporaries to explore how the artist created his signature style during the year 1889. Co-organized by the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Paul Gauguin: Paris, 1889 re-creates on a smaller scale the radical independent exhibition that Gauguin organized with his artistic disciples on the grounds of the 1889 Exposition Universelle—a display of about 100 paintings now recognized as the first Symbolist exhibition in Paris.

Paul Gauguin: Paris, 1889 also closely examines Gauguin’s first set of prints, a portfolio of eleven lithographs printed on brilliant yellow paper. First on view at Monsieur Volpini’s Café des Arts, this so-called Volpini Suite chronicled the artist’s early career and travels to Martinique, Brittany, and Arles. The exhibition documents the development of familiar motifs—such as the mourning Eve, the woman in the waves, and fruit bearers—that would distinguish Gauguin’s work for the rest of his career.

Because available photographic emulsions were not equally sensitive to all colors of the spectrum, Gustave Le Gray photographed the sky and water separately for "An Effect of the Sun, Normandy," circa 1856, skillfully printing both negatives on a single paper.

We studied Alice Neel back in 1978, at the College of Wooster, in Thalia Gouma Peterson's Women in Art History class, a very radical class at the time. I love Neel's work!
