CARNEGIE MUSEUM OF ART

A Delight for the Senses:the Still Life revels in the humble and often overshadowed art of the still life, exploring over 250 years from the 17th century to America’s Gilded Age.these simple paintings offer more meaning than what meets the eye—beyond the skillful techniques and aesthetics are metaphors related to class, morals and life itself. Held at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, this collection of still lifes loaned from the Detroit Institute of Arts and local collectors, will be on view through March 15.
