SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition: French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850 - 1950
DESCRIPTION:French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850- 1950\nFebruary 1–June 22\, 2025\nHolmes Gallery \nParis was regarded as the center of Western art in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The period’s leading artists experimented with bold\, expressive styles—Realism\, Impressionism\, Post-Impressionism\, Symbolism\, Fauvism\, Cubism\, and Surrealism. Explore this pivotal and dynamic period in art history when the internationally touring French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850- 1950 exhibition makes its first and only South/Central Florida stop at the Vero Beach Museum of Art\, February 1 through June 22. The exhibition is organized by Lisa Small\, Senior Curator of European Art\, and Richard Aste\, former Curator of European Art\, Brooklyn Museum. \nThe French Moderns exhibition features 59 paintings and sculptures from that collection\, including some of the most renowned names in Modern art— Renoir\, Matisse\, Léger\, Bonnard\, Morisot\, Chagall\, Vuillard\, and Degas. It also highlights artists like Lajos Tihanyi\, Aleksandr Yakovlev\, and Giovanni Boldini\, who settled in Paris and made significant contributions to the art scene\, each hailing from Hungary\, Russia\, and Italy\, respectively. \nEach artwork in French Moderns is displayed with a corresponding extended label that provides insight into each artist’s sensibilities and\, in many cases\, points out revolutionary aspects of their subjects\, style\, and sources of inspiration. \nFree with Museum admission. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Claude Monet (French\, 1840–1926).

SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition - Well-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Well-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection\nFebruary 10–September 14\, 2025\nSchumann Gallery and Titelman Gallery \nWell-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection explores the intersection of fashion\, identity\, performance\, and self-expression. The show is VBMA’s first major thematic permanent collection exhibition in recent years and brings together dozens of artworks\, some familiar and others rarely on display. \nWell-Dressed begins with portraits of individuals in various kinds of dress\, often wearing colorful garments. Some clothing items\, like the yellow dress in Joseph Stella’s painting Joy of Living\, starkly contrast with their surroundings\, while others\, such as the photograph\, Punzante by Argentinian artists Raúl Eduardo Stolkiner (known as RES) and Constanza Piaggio\, emphasize pattern and materiality\, presenting a woman adorned in a stole made entirely of wire. \nA section of the exhibition examines the concept of “collective dress\,” highlighting works that portray groups of individuals wearing similar or identical outfits or uniforms. Another section focuses on the attire of dancers\, performers\, musicians\, and actors. The final section showcases artworks that depict only clothing or accessories; pieces such as Michael Craig-Martin’s Untitled (Sunglasses) and Karen LaMonte’s Reclining Dress Absence. These function almost as surrogate portraits\, allowing viewers to imagine whom they might represent. \nThe exhibition is organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Karen LaMonte\, Reclining Dress Absence\, 2005. Cast glass\, 20 x 63 x 15 inches. Museum purchase with funds provided by the Alice and James S. Beckwith III Endowment; Mr. and Mrs. Rex L. Brophy Endowment for Acquisitions; William B. and Marcia H. Howell Endowment Fund for Collections and the Museum Acquisition Fund in celebration of the Museum’s 30th Anniversary\, 2016.2 \nThe exhibition is free with Museum admission. \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Feb 10\, 2025 to Sep 14\, 2025 and happens every:\nMondays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nThursdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nFridays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nSundays: 1:00pm – 4:00pm Timezone: EST

SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition - Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography
DESCRIPTION:Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography\nFebruary 10–August 31\, 2025\nStark Gallery \nVero Beach Museum of Art is pleased to present Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography on view in the Stark Gallery from February 10 through August 31\, 2025. Farber (b. 1944) has lived and traveled the world as a leading force in the world of photography. \nRobert Farber’s professional practice spans commercial and fine art photography\, with subject matter ranging from fashion and portraits to still life and landscapes. The works featured in Timeless are drawn from two major bodies of work: his Vintage Fashion series\, captured during commercial shoots\, and the Deterioration series\, which consists of prints from his earlier fashion photography. These prints\, created from film that became vulnerable to heat\, humidity\, and other elements over the years\, reveal colorful and otherworldly distortions. These effects are entirely natural and reveal the beauty in the unexpected transformations of the film over time. \nTimeless brings both series together for the first time in a museum exhibition. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Robert Farber\, Deterioration #155\, (detail) 1982/2017.
