"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.

"John Singer Sargent: The Painter as Sculptor"

"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.
