"Purvis Young: Redux" Exhibition Opens to the Public
2022-06-18 10:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Inspired by the success of the exhibition Purvis Young: 91 in 2019, the Tampa Museum of Art will remount its Purvis Young collection as one of the first of several long-term displays of the permanent collection. In 2004, the Rubell Family Foundation gifted 91 artworks to the Tampa Museum of Art by Young (American, 1943-2010). Based in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami, Florida, Young’s paintings reflect his observations of daily life and the fight for social justice, hope for his community, immigration and otherness, as well as the fragile balance between life and death. He rendered his work from found objects—items he discovered in his neighborhood. Discarded wood, windows, furniture fragments, cabinets, doors, carpet, fabric, string, and cables. Although his means were limited, Young was recognized throughout Miami, and now across the globe, for his remarkable painting practice and his contributions to the cultural landscape of South Florida.

Virtual Lecture - Paul Jenkins: From America's Heartland to an International Journey
2022-06-26 13:00 - 14:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Join us for a virtual lecture on artist Paul Jenkins by renowned art historian and author Gail Levin. Her lecture will explore the artist’s biography as well as the influence of Asian art and aesthetics on his art. This virtual lecture coincides with the closing of the exhibition Paul Jenkins: From America’s Heartland to an International Journey.
Gail Levin is Distinguished Professor of Art history, Fine and Performing Arts, American Studies, and Women’s Studies at Baruch College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her interest in abstract painting goes back to her doctoral dissertation. The acknowledged authority on American realist painter Edward Hopper, she is author of books and articles on the artist, including the catalogue raisonné (1995). Her work on twentieth-century and contemporary art has won international acclaim. Articles range from theory of artists’ biographies to explorations of American and Asian cultural studies. In 2007, the Wall Street Journal chose her Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography (1995, second expanded edition 2007), as one of the five best portrayals of artists’ lives since 1931. She has often focused on women artists, writing biographies of Judy Chicago and Lee Krasner. For the latter, she interviewed Paul Jenkins. In 2019, the Financial Times in London chose Lee Krasner: A Biography as one of the five best art books of the year. Levin, who has won many prestigious grants, including two Distinguished Fulbright Chair Awards, also shows her own artwork and publishes fiction.

TMA TMI Crit Group
2022-06-27 19:00 - 21:00 | Zoom, FL, United States
Virtual Group Critiques the last Wednesday of every month, Zoom, 7:00-9:00p
Are you an artist in the Tampa Bay area who wants to meet and discuss the work of other local artists? Are your artistic intentions the same as what is perceived in your work? Are you looking for ideas about how your work can improve? Join us for the TMA TMI Virtual Crit Group, a monthly series of virtual group critiques presented by the Tampa Museum of Art over Zoom.
As a group of artists we will spend each session of TMA TMI looking at and discussing works of art from each participant. Discussions will focus on our observations and interpretations of each other’s work, and what we all think is working in each piece. There is also time for viewers to ask questions of the exhibiting artist, as well as time for the artist to direct the discussion and solicit constructive comments about aspects of their work that could benefit from a different approach in technique or thought.
DON’T BE NERVOUS! This is a positive and supportive meetup of emerging, mid-career, and later-career artists, practicing active and imaginative looking, leading to objective description and analysis backed up by things we are seeing. We will not criticize your drawing ability or choice of subject. What we will do is focus our attention on works of art for usually around 20 minutes per artwork, describing, analyzing, and discussing what we are seeing. As an artist you will be engaging with the work and ideas of other local artists, and will receive valuable takeaways from hearing how other artists see and interpret your work.

For each session, artists are asked to prepare photos of 1-2 recent, finished works of art. To help those who have never experienced a group critique, or if it’s been a while since you participated in one, participants will also be emailed a printable handout of possible questions that you can apply to any work of art we discuss this week. The conversation will be moderated by artist and Tampa Museum of Art Studio Programs Coordinator Anthony Record.
You can prepare as many photos of details as you wish, but be sure to have one high quality photo of the overall piece as the main photo. Participants will show their work by sharing their screen.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. All media are welcome and encouraged.
