This beautifully illustrated catalogue highlights 101 works of
art from the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of
Oklahoma. Combining full-color reproductions with explanatory text,
the catalogue presents significant examples of Asian, European,
American, American Indian, and contemporary 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 focus on single works,
each by a different artist. Authors Eric McCauley Lee and Rima
Canaan discuss the artists' backgrounds and analyze the featured
works. Where appropriate, related objects in the collection appear
as accompanying illustrations. The celebrated artists represented
in 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 opening 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
extraordinary development of the museum's collections over nearly
three-quarters of a century.
