Inspired by Temptation: Odilon Redon and Saint Anthony
Opens July 3
French symbolist Odilon Redon often paired his art with literature. The resulting images—fantastical and dreamlike—stand alone as avant-garde works of art. This exhibition presents three lithographic albums (42 works) inspired by Gustave Flaubert’s book The Temptation of Saint Anthony (1874). In this story a third-century monk retreated to the desert to contemplate God and is assaulted by erotic visions and demonic apparitions. Learn more
A Royal Renaissance: School of Fontainebleau Prints from the Kirk Edward Long Collection
Through July 14
King Francois I of France wanted the world to know him as highly cultured; so he directed prominent engravers to record the multimedia ensembles that embellished his over-the-top royal residence at Fontainebleau. More than 30 works selected from a private collection illustrate the sophistication, extravagance, and eroticism of this courtly style. Learn more
