New in the Galleries:

Onya LaTour: Pioneering Modern Art in Indiana
Continuing through May 10, 2015
Gallery of the Art of the Western World, Doris Steinmetz Kellett Endowed Gallery of Twentieth-Century Art, first floor
In 1941 Onya LaTour opened the Indiana Museum of Modern Art near Nashville, Indiana, creating a stir in local art circles. Two works from her personal collection are featured in this installation presented in conjunction with Onya LaTour on view at the Indianapolis Museum of Art this fall, to which the IU Art Museum loaned four pieces.

WWI War Bond Posters
Continuing through May 24, 2015
During World War I, mass-produced color posters encouraged enlistment, helped raise capital for the war effort, and solidified public opinion against the enemy. Two vintage posters for war bonds, one American and one French, are featured: although both depict a German soldier, they have very different styles and impacts.

Nature’s Small Wonders: Photographs by Ansel Adams
Continuing through May 24, 2015
America’s most famous nature photographer, Adams was also an ardent conservationist who served on the board of directors for the Sierra Club for thirty-seven years and was active in the Wilderness Society. He used his dramatic black-and-white photographs to encourage the preservation of America’s natural wonders, particularly those found in the U.S. National Parks.

This installation is on view from January 13 through May 24, 2015, in the Gallery of the Art of the Western World, Doris Steinmetz Kellett Endowed Gallery of Twentieth-Century Art. It is presented in conjunction with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Sycamore Land Trust, whose mission is to protect the beautiful natural and agricultural landscape of southern Indiana.

Finding Atget
Continueing though May 24, 2015
French photographer Eugène Atget’s imagery mixed a nineteenth-century aesthetic with a modern sensibility, garnering him admiration and respect from the young Berenice Abbott, who became his champion. This installation features a vintage print by Atget and several later prints from his original negatives.

Women behind the Camera
Continuing through May 24, 2015
The world of professional photography in the early- to mid-twentieth century was largely a men’s club, but a small group of talented women paved the way for future generations of female “lensmen.” Portraits by three of these pioneers—Imogen Cunningham, Berenice Abbott, and Toni Frissell—are featured.

Pop Textiles
Continuing through May 24, 2015
Textiles designed by Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Lindner, and Claes Oldenburg are featured. These bold and inventive compositions on fabric blur the boundaries between fine art, craft, and industrial production.

Robert Salmon: Romantic Painter
Continuing through May 24, 2015
Two paintings by Robert Salmon help elucidate the artist’s foundation in English Romanticism, which continued to inform his painting after his move to Boston in 1828.

Focalpoint: Fantastic African Hats: Power, Passage, and Protection
Continuing through May 24, 2015
These twelve richly embellished African hats celebrate the prestige of their owners, evoke complex histories of trade and commerce, and provide protection from harm. Organized by Brittany Sheldon, graduate assistant for the arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas.

“Moco’s Prehistoric Past”
Come see and examine fossils of plants, organisms, and animals found in the Hoosier state and learn how they contributed to Southern Indiana’s natural landscape. The history center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10:00am-4:00pm. Runs through March 31.

The History Center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm.

Visionary, phantasmagoric, at times vulgar, and, by the way, often tenderly gay, Satyricon is La dolce vita in ancient Rome. Fabulous spectacle and yet rigorous in its respect for how the original text comes down to us: fragmentary, intermittently opaque, even incomprehensible, with sudden shifts of time. Widescreen composition recreates the depthlessness of fresco, the music is out of time, and everything throbs with strange violence and baffling sexuality, excessive bingeing jostling philosophical reflection and esoteric poetry. Contains mature content. In Italian language with English subtitles.(35mm presentation)

This beloved classic fairytale begins with a grandfather reading his favorite book “The Princess Bride” to his hard-to-impress grandson. This book, he promises, has everything: “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.” And all that he promised comes to life as he reads about the adventures of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, and Westley, the man she loves.

With a cast of stars ranging from Billy Crystal to Robin Wright, this action-comedy-romance appeals to children and adults alike. Costumes are welcome!

The Riccis, featuring singer/songwriter Lewis Ricci and lead vocalist Campbell Ricci, bring their mix of folk, rock, pop, country, and original music to The Pub. Harmonies are the hallmark of this ensemble with its roots in American acoustic music.

We welcome you Friday, March 6th, at 6:00pm, The Venue Fine Art & Gifts will host a Reception for an Exhibit of all new works of Award Winning Artist, Mark Blaney. A Bloomington resident, Mark has shown his work around the world and around the country,

beginning in 1994.

Marks paintings reveal that he is first and foremost a colorist, with a healthy respect for line and form as well. Inspired by the likes of Gauguin and Degas, Marks paintings are drawn from nature, and often portray an American Southern narrative. Most aptly described as post modern impressionism, Mark defies categorization by exercising his freedom to explore color, line, and form, in his own unique style. This exhibit will also include Mark’s latest drawings, watercolors, small sculptures and more!

The Venue will provide refreshments for the occasion. Our complete collection of fine art and gifts will also be on display for viewing and purchase.

This show will run at The Venue until March 19th.

Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851).

Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies.

Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.(2K DCP presentation)
