"Ninety percent of artists, their brain is better than their hand. For me, I want my hand to me better than my brain," #McArthurBinion is quoted in a recently published profile on the artist in @lofficielusa.

Binion—who is known for combining collage, drawing, and painting to create autobiographical abstractions of painted minimalist patterns over an “under surface” of personal documents and photographs—has been making art for more than 50 years, and we are proud to have his 2016 work "DNA: Sepia: V" in the #ArtBridges lending collection. ...

#MaxWeber is recognized as the first artist to bring the style of abstract Cubism to America. He was a friend of #PabloPicasso and explored the angular compositional techniques developed by the iconic Spanish artist.

With the seemingly animated whirls and organized lines of Weber’s 1915 painting “Interior with Music,” the artist visually captures intangible sounds by depicting the rhythms and patterns of music.

This work is part of the #ArtBridges collection and is currently on loan to our partners at the @EskenaziMuseum at Indiana University Bloomington and is included in their current exhibition “American Artists and the Avant-Garde: Three Paintings from the Art Bridges Foundation.”

🗓️ This is your final week to experience the exhibition "Edward Steichen: In Exaltation of Flowers," on view through November 28 at the @ChryslerMuseum.

About this exhibition: Though he is best known today as one of the twentieth century’s leading photographers, #EdwardSteichen began his artistic career as a painter.

This show features his most grand and ambitious effort in that medium: "In Exaltation of Flowers." This large-scale mural, which measures ten feet high and nearly forty feet wide altogether, comes to the Chrysler on loan from the #ArtBridges lending collection. The mural’s seven panels are paired with works from the Chrysler’s rich photography and decorative arts holdings that illuminate Steichen’s photographic career.

Opening today at Ohio's @CantonMuseum • POP!

✨ About this exhibition: The phenomenon that was Pop art emerged in London in the 1950s, and in the United States shortly after. Pop art challenged traditions of fine art by drawing inspiration from popular and mass culture. It developed because artists didn't think that traditional art reflected their everyday lives. Things like common household objects and consumer products not portrayed in traditional art found their way into Pop art. By using everyday, recognizable imagery in their work, the artists of Pop made their work relatable to everyone. In Pop art you'll typically find this recognizable imagery, along with bright colors, humor and irony, and innovative techniques like printmaking and mixed media.

⚡ POP! not only highlights this important movement in art, but also converges pieces from our Permanent Collection with those of private lenders in Ohio and from the Art Bridges Foundation.

🏀 Among the works on view is #JeffKoons' “One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (Spalding Dr. J Series),” 1985, part of the #ArtBridges lending collection. Visit our website to learn more about this piece and contact us today if you're interested in bringing it to your institution.
