A sense of joy and wonder is apparent in the art of American artist Alexander Calder. With his recognizable use of solid colors and floating shapes, the works express the artist’s delightful approach to artistic creation. This exhibition includes works from the collection, promised gifts as well as loans from private collections.
These complementary exhibitions look at images of our beloved pets within the Dayton Art Institute collection. Whether you are a dog person or a cat person (or, like many, you love both equally), these paired exhibitions draw on objects from across the collection and feature a range of media, including paintings, photographs, prints and sculptures. These charming exhibitions are exclusive to the DAI.
One of the outstanding series in the history of Japanese woodblock prints, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon is also the culmination of the artist’s career. Issued as individual prints from 1885–1892, the series is a tour-de-force, combining diverse, striking designs with dramatic historical and mythical stories from Japan’s past. Drawing a selection from the DAI’s complete set, the exhibition is presented in three installments, each focusing on a different theme in the series.
