In last week’s post I admitted to visiting the Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala, Florida for the very first time just a few weeks ago. To make up for that sad and pitiful fact, I am dedicating two blog posts to exhibitions currently featured at this hidden gem of an art institution. Alphonse Mucha: […]
Read more "Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau at The Appleton"Confession time… I visited The Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala, Florida for the very first time a few short weeks ago. I know, I know… as an avowed museum nerd, this is a gross oversight on my part. I finally set aside the time to visit and I am pleased to report that I […]
Read more "Alison Saar at The Appleton"The Rollins Museum of Art (formerly the Cornell Museum of Fine Arts) in Winter Park, Florida is hosting an exhibition that is definitely not to be missed. Gallardo/Budoff: Growth, Breadth and Terrain is on view at the museum until December 31st and admission to this high caliber exhibition is free, so no excuses – just […]
Read more "Gallardo/Budoff at the Rollins Museum of Art"The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL has a very interesting exhibition currently on view. The Woman Who Broke Boundaries: Photographer Lee Miller explores the fascinating and intoxicating life of Surrealist artist and photojournalist Lee Miller. This was a total learning experience for me and it pains me to admit this, but I knew absolutely […]
Read more "Lee Miller at The Dali"Those of you who have been following this blog for a while know that I am not just The Wandering Art Historian, but that I am also a painter.

The current exhibition is incredibly delightful and inspiring and it is only on view for a few more weeks. The Grand Portraits […]
Read more "The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma"Ten years ago this month, Marina Abramovic completed her epic performance piece, “The Artist is Present.” This piece was developed to coincide with her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. As the piece came to a close on May 31st of 2010, Abramovic had been “present” for over 736 hours and recorded sitting across […]
Read more "The Artist is Present… ???"If you haven’t seen Edward Steichen: In Exaltation of Flowers, you only have about a month left to check out this very interesting exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art. While Steichen was primarily known for his photographs (see the corresponding photography exhibition at the Mennello Museum of American Art), the OMA has on display […]
Read more "Edward Steichen at the OMA"The Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the campus of Rollins College has a not-to-be-missed exhibition currently on view through September 8th. Mexican Modernity: 20th-Century Paintings from the Zapanta Collection is required viewing for anyone who wants to flesh out their study of Mexican art. Personally, I feel as though Art History as a practice oversimplifies […]
Read more "Mexican Modernity"I decided to change my planned post for today to something completely different due to time sensitivity. Today’s post will highlight the Abstract Expressionism show at the Tampa Museum of Art because it closes on August 11 and if you haven’t seen it, you should. I saw this show this weekend and it is really […]
