Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist

A few weeks ago, I visited the Orlando Museum of Art to view the exhibit Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist. I had heard very positive things from those who had already seen the show and I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. It is an incredibly well-curated show including artifacts from the artist’s life to compliment his […]

Numbers in Nature: Museum of Science & Industry

While in Chicago a couple weeks ago, I visited the Museum of Science and Industry. It was a spectacular place that could not be experienced in a single day – repeat visits are definitely encouraged and required if you want to experience everything. Multiple floors of science-based and technology-infused exhibitions (their website claims 400,000 square […]

Degas: The Private Impressionist

A few weeks ago I visited the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, FL to view the exhibition Degas: The Private Impressionist. I then wrote about it for ArtScene Press. Here is a brief excerpt of that article… The preliminary sketches and studies in this exhibit exemplify Degas’ masterful draftsmanship, and some drawings could stand as […]

Enrico David at the MCA

The Wandering Art Historian has returned! If you haven’t seen any blog posts as of late, know that I spent a bit of time away from the blog, wandering around the Windy City. This was my second visit in less than a year and I can assure you… Chicago is a city FULL of ART! […]

Magritte & Dali

In preparation for my upcoming lecture on Rene Magritte, I visited The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL to view their current exhibition Magritte & Dali. I won’t go into too much detail here on the blog about what this exhibition entails for two reasons: 1. I will be writing an article about the exhibition […]

Body Snatchers

I am pleased to share my most recent article for ArtScene Press! The Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the campus of Rollins College has a number of art exhibits concurrently on view in different galleries throughout the museum. I chose to focus on a small, but powerful exhibition – Body Snatchers: Death in Culture – […]

Robert Indiana: A Sculpture Retrospective

Not long after the passing of artist Robert Indiana this past summer, the Tampa Museum of Art announced the exhibition, “Robert Indiana: A Sculpture Retrospective.” It is currently on view (through March 17th, 2019) and I visited the exhibition last week. I knew I was going to see his iconic “LOVE” sculpture and probably some […]

Mary Magdalene

The story of the Magdalene is a wild, weird and complex one that is more mythic legend than factual event. For starters, throughout art history she is depicted as a sort of amalgam of a few different women mentioned in the Bible’s four gospels of the New Testament. Second, her story takes an extreme turn […]

Nerds in the City
