In less than a week, the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin will unveil In Creative Harmony: Three Artistic Partnerships, a new exhibit exploring how human connection drives creativity through three unique artistic collaborations.
“Artists have inspired one another for centuries,” said Simone Wicha, the museum’s director, in a press release. “In Creative Harmony demonstrates how these exchanges push the boundaries of creativity by beautifully weaving together three transformative partnerships and more than a hundred artworks.”
The exhibit highlights:
- José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez: A cross-generational dialogue between the renowned Mexican printmaker and contemporary artist Rodríguez.
- Arshile Gorky and Isamu Noguchi: A showcase of abstract paintings and sculptures tracing their creative trajectories.
- Nora and Eliza Naranjo Morse” An immersive display of pottery, drawings and graphic arts that blend ancestral knowledge and storytelling.
