“Keep Calm and Carry On” (Nov. 1-Jan. 20)
“Annie Leibovitz” (Jan. 17-June 9)
Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach
“Keep Calm and Carry On: World War II and the British Home Front”is a sweeping survey of England during the Blitz and after that will encompass artifacts, music, posters, films, and even some fashions that were created to minimize the use of rationed material.
“Annie Leibovitz” is a huge survey of the popular photographer’s 40-year career. It coincides with the Norton’s purchase of dozens of Leibovitz’ photographs. Curator Charles Stainback seeks to make a case for Leibovitz as an artist whose gift for portraits goes beyond the familiar gimmickry of her shots of Whoopi Goldberg and John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
“Impressions of Interiors: Gilded Age Paintings by Walter Gay” (Jan. 29-April 23)
Flagler Museum, Palm Beach
Photographing large-scale interiors could be problematic in the 19th century - film was slow, and the rooms tended to be underlit - so many Gilded Age homeowners hired artists such as Walter Gay to document their houses. Gay (1856–1937) specialized in views of opulent interiors from the mid-1890s to the early 1930s, scrupulously documenting the possessions of his patrons’: silk wall coverings, ornate paneling, 18th-century French furniture, tapestries, and sculptures.
“Copley, Delacroix, Dali and Others - Masterworks from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery” (Feb. 2-March 30)
Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach
Some premier paintings from the gallery established and built in 1958 by the press baron Lord Beaverbrook as a gift to the Canadian province where he spent his childhood. The Gallery received a good selection of the best paintings from his private collection, including famous works by Gainsborough, Turner, Krieghoff, Dalí, Constable and Reynolds.
“The Art of Video Games”(Oct. 24-Jan. 13)
The Boca Raton Museum of Art, Boca Raton
An exploration of the 40-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, focusing on graphics, storytelling, and interactivity. The exhibit will feature 80 video games presented through still images and video footage, as well as video interviews with developers and artists, and historic game consoles. Five classic video games (Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and Flower) will be available for visitors to play.
