Amarillo Museum of Art Presents Artspace: Home

Artists have long been fascinated by the idea of home and often choose it as their subject matter. Explore the idea of home through artworks from AMoA’s Permanent Collection. Georgia O’Keeffe chose to paint the view out her window. Douglas Kent Hall captured the ‘magical’ light of the ancient Taos Pueblo. Russell Lee photographed the homes of everyday Americans during the Great Depression. The definition of home is as diverse as each of us, which is reflected in the paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures included in this exhibition. On display until September 20th.

Amarillo Museum of Art Presents The Permanent Collection: Red

Curated from AMoA’s Permanent Collection, this exhibition will focus on the color red through a variety of artistic eras and mediums. Color has always carried cultural meaning and symbolism for artists, and red is one of the most significant and evocative of colors. Red ochre was first employed as an artistic material in prehistoric cave paintings. Expressing everything from anger to passion and death to life, it is arguably the first color available for artistic expression and one of the oldest pigments still in use. The exhibition will include Tibetan tsakli, Japanese woodblock prints, Afghan and Turkish textiles, as well as artworks by Helen Frankenthaler, Larry Calcagno, Luis Jimenez, Joseph Marioni, Trudy Kraft and Ben Shaun among others. On Display until June 28th.
