Throughout the Museum's 60-year history, its permanent collection has grown from 60 objects to more than 5,000. See this collection in a new light as familiar works are paired with exciting loans from global contemporary artists working across media. Even though they span generations and geographic boundaries, Tiffany Chung, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Juan Fontanive, Titus Kaphar, John Frederick Kensett, Amy Sherald, Frans Snyders, Pat Steir, and Mildred Thompson, among others, explore the concepts of portraiture, landscape, cartography, allegory, and natural world. Come take a moment to consider the expected, and unexpected, links between them. 

This Exhibition is organized by the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens.
