Highlights from the Maltwood Art Museum

July 7–30, 2004
McPherson Library Gallery

The Maltwood Art Museum and Gallery will be presenting a small selection of
highlights from its permanent art collection. These 'Staff Picks' will offer a
highly subjective view of the collection, consisting of works that hold meaning
for individual members of the Gallery staff. Statements explaining why each
staff member chose the work will accompany each selection.

Works will range from the sublime to the curious, including sketches by the
controversial figurative artist Charles Malinsky, terra cotta funerary animals
from China, a selection of images from activist photographer Nina Raginsky, and
lantern slides with accompanying notes for an early 20th Century lecture on
'Masterpieces of Art'.

As well as revealing the diversity of the Gallery's collection, Staff Picks
will make the works exhibited more accessible to people through the Gallery
Staff’s personal perspectives on them. On one level, these are the responses of
Gallery professionals to many different types of art. On another, they are
reflections of purely individual experience. The exhibition explores the range
of meanings art can have for different people, as well as the different roles
it can play in our lives.
