"Looking
Through The Tiger's Eye: The Art of a Magazine"
Through March 30
The
Tiger's Eye was a widely read magazine of art and literature
that was published quarterly from 1947 to 1949. Produced by writer
Ruth Stephan and her husband, painter John Stephan, the magazine
took its name from a poem by William Blake.
In this exhibit, approximately 50 works of art -- paintings, sculpture,
and works on paper -- that were reproduced in the magazine are brought
together to reveal how the publication captured the creativity and
spirit of the period, a time in which the center of the art world
shifted from Paris to New York and to the new American abstraction.
Featured artists include Mark Rothko, Alberto Giacometti, and Constantin
Brancusi, among others.

"Painted
Ladies: Women at the Court of Charles II, 1660-1685"
Through
March 17
The Restoration,
a pivotal period in England's history, was characterized by splendor
and excess. The women of the Restoration court in England were alternately
praised for their beauty and despised for the power they wielded.
More than 100 portraits, ranging from miniatures to full-length
oils, offer a glimpse of the women at the court of Charles II --
from his queen, Catherine of Braganza, and several of his mistresses
to female patrons of art and political operators.
