CLE OP: Cleveland Op Art Pioneers

The Art of Daily Life: Portable Objects from Southeast Africa

"This exhibition features a variety of objects made by pastoral peoples belonging to different southern African cultures. The art of this vast region comprises exquisitely designed everyday objects, including snuff containers, staffs, clubs, beer vessels, and beaded garments, all characterized by their stylistic diversity and rich cultural meanings. Many of the works in The Art of Daily Life, the first exhibition of its kind organized by a major art museum in the United States, have never before been exhibited or published."
Indian Kalighat Paintings
May 1 – September 18, 2011
These rarely displayed paintings are considered the beginning of Indian modernist art. They were originally created as souvenirs for nineteenth-century tourists and sometimes mock the newly affluent with their high stylization and bright colors.

Chinese Art in an Age of Revolution: Fu Baoshi (1904–1965)
October 16, 2011 – January 8, 2012
In a first collaboration between the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Nanjing Museum, this comprehensive exhibition of the modern master Fu Baoshi gives a detailed look into the transformation of traditional-style painting in an age of national crisis. From landscapes and figure paintings to political artwork manifesting state ideology, the show examines the artist’s struggle and political reconciliation as well as the search for an artistic language that speaks for both the self and the nation. It reveals the complexity of artistic creativity in China’s turbulent twentieth century.
