Fall 2010 Exhibitions Open at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.Posted on: 2010-08-24Press Release – Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts
Fall 2010 Exhibitions Open Saturday, August 28, 2010
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is excited to announce the opening of its Fall 2010 exhibitions. These exhibitions will run from Saturday, August 28 2010 – Sunday, December 19, 2010.
In the main Gallery:
The Grand Tour: British and French Portraits from a Texas Collection.
This exquisite private Texas collection of twenty-two English, French, American and German portraits of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries includes the works of Anthony Van Dyck, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and William Bouguereau. This exhibition traces the history of portraiture in France and Great Britain over three centuries, from the Grand Manner style of the court of Charles I in England and the French courts, to the smaller, more intimate portraits and figure studies of the mid to late 19th century.
In the Rebecca Cole Gallery:
A View of the World: British Watercolor Artists at Home and Abroad is a wonderful private Texas collection of 19th and 20th century watercolors by British artists. Watercolor painting was an established genre in British art especially for paintings out of doors. The artists in this exhibition painted both ‘at home’ with views of scenic English countryside, thatched cottages, rural villages and architectural landmarks such as cathedrals. However, British watercolor artists also embraced painting ‘abroad’ using the portable medium of watercolor for studies of the brilliant light of the Middle East, the architecture of the European Continent, and other sights around the world.
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts offers free admission daily (a suggested donation of $3.00 per person is recommended) and is conveniently located at
6815 Cypresswood in Spring.
The Galleries are open:
