Josette Urso: Collage to Painting/Minimal to Maximal

The Artist Josette Urso stands in front of her work which is large colorful and abstract. She has art supplies in front of her. Teaching Artist. Studio Class.

Josette Urso: Collage to Painting/Minimal to Maximal

Monday – Friday

Oct. 30 – Nov. 3, 2023

10:00 am – 4:00 pm

This course explores the interrelationship between collage and painting. Collage will be used as a means of sketching and as a springboard for ideas in painting. Work will begin simply becoming progressively more complex as participants push the limits of the mediums and their ideas. Work done in one medium will influence one’s vision in the other, and the collaboration between process and concept will encourage the production of less planned and more unexpected images.

The aim is to refresh the artist’s vision while exploring the painterly possibilities of alternative media. New media spark new ways of thinking and collage is a rich medium providing an infinite range of possibilities.

The class is open to individuals of all levels.

Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s​

On view September 30, 2021 through January 16, 2022

Etel Adnan (Lebanon). Oil on canvas. Collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, UAE
Etel Adnan (Lebanon). Autumn in Yosemite Valley, 1963–1964.Oil on canvas, 20 1/8 x 20 1/8 in. Collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, UAE

Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s explores mid-20th-century abstract art from North Africa, West Asia, and the Arab diaspora—a vast geographic expanse that encompasses diverse cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. Comprising nearly 80 works by artists from countries including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the exhibition is drawn from the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation based in Sharjah, UAE. Inspired by Arabia calligraphy, geometry and mathematics, Islamic decorative patterns, and spiritual practices, they expanded abstraction’s vocabulary—thus complicating its genealogies or origin and altering how we view non-objective art. The paintings, sculpture, drawings, and prints on view reflect the wide range of nonfigurative art practices that flourished in the Arab world over the course of four decades. At the Tampa Museum of Art, Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s is possible thanks to a community sponsorship by Morgan Stanley. The exhibition is also supported in part by Colonial Distributing and George & Debbie Baxter in honor of Dr. Mudhafar Amin and Zahar Hadid.​

Sketches and Sculptures: A Study of C. Paul Jennewein

On view through February 28, 2021

C. Paul Jennewein (German/American, 1890–1978), Coral, 1926. Silvered bronze. H. 32 inches. Tampa Museum of Art, Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Joel Klayman in honor of Max and Dorothy Diamond, 1999.014.

C. Paul Jennewein’s (German-American, 1890-1978) artwork reveals the inspiration of the ancient world while also engaging with the new sculptural styles of his time, merging Art Deco with the neo-classical tradition. In 1978, the Tampa Bay Art Center, predecessor of the Tampa Museum of Art, received a bequest of 2,600 objects including finished artworks, as well as preparatory drawings, plaster casts, and molds for the numerous commissions Jennewein received during his prolific career. Sketches and Sculptures: A Study of C. Paul Jennewein highlights this extensive archive. The exhibition presentsan overview of the artist’s early sculptures and four major commissions executed between 1925 and 1940 that defined Jennewein as one of the most significant sculptors of his day.

Sketches and Sculpture: A Study of C. Paul Jennewein is part of the Tampa Museum of Art’s centennial exhibition series Celebrating 100 Years.

White Gold: Thomas Sayre

On view January 23, 2020 through January 10, 2021

White Gold is an immersive installation by artist Thomas Sayre (American, b. 1950) that depicts a cotton-filled Southern landscape. The work intends to express the beauty, the complexity, and the tragedy of our embroiled agricultural traditions. Cotton is one of the nation’s most contentious and layered materials, and one with which almost every American has a personal relationship, either directly or indirectly. Inevitably, it is linked to the economic, racial, and social history of the region and its people. Sayre’s White Gold refers to cotton and a reverence for the land, the labor, and the people (forced or unforced) who made cotton their livelihood. The installation is a fierce expression of the Southern landscape: its magnificence and the haunting pain of history, memory, and ultimately, belonging.

White Gold: Thomas Sayre is organized by the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh
