Description

This beautifully illustrated catalogue highlights 101 artworks from the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art on the University of Oklahoma. Combining full-color reproductions with explanatory text, the catalogue presents significant examples of Asian, European, American, American Indian, and up to date art from the museum’s permanent collection.

For visitors to the museum and art aficionados, these pages offer a tour of the museum’s exceptional paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and photographs. Arranged in chronological and thematic sequence, the catalogue entries center of attention on single works, each and every by a different artist. Authors Eric McCauley Lee and Rima Canaan discuss the artists’ backgrounds and analyze the featured works. Where appropriate, related objects within the collection appear as accompanying illustrations. The prestigious artists represented within the catalogue include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Allan Houser, and members of the Taos Society of Artists.

Published to coincide with the outlet of the museum’s new wing, designed by renowned architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen and named in honor of Mary and Howard Lester, this catalogue celebrates the unusual development of the museum’s collections over nearly three-quarters of a century.
