Though all the works in A Reflective Nature are alike in that each features birds and water, they differ in as many ways as there are artists to interpret these two subjects.

Across the Polar Sea: With Robert E. Peary on the North Pole Expedition
|
04/13/2010 -
06/12/2010
In the summer of 1908, Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary boarded his ship SS Roosevelt and departed New York bound for the high Arctic to make one last attempt to reach the North Pole. He was accompanied by a small group of men selected for their courage, strength, and intelligence. One of these men was Donald B. MacMillan.
MacMillan was 33 years old when he agreed to accompany Peary as a member of the 1908-09 expedition. There is little evidence that MacMillan was anything more than an occasional amateur photographer at the time, but like most members of Peary’s scientific staff, he had a camera with him to record his participation in this historic expedition. They are first and foremost a significant record of the historic events of the expedition. They also represent MacMillan’s first impressions of the people and landscapes of the region.
On display are 33 digital enlargements of a selection of the hand-tinted lantern slides used by MacMillan in his lectures and items from the museum's permanent collection.
The exhibit is curated from the collection of the Peary-MacMillan Artic Museum. Exhibition is traveled by art2art Circulating Exhibitions.

Norman Rockwell's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
|
6/15/2010 -
8/1/2010
In 1935, George Macy, the publisher of the Heritage Press and Limited Editions Club books, invited Norman Rockwell to illustrate Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. Rockwell visited Hannibal, Missouri, Twain’s boyhood town, to find authentic details to include in his work. Twain’s vivid descriptions of character, setting and mood were an inspiration to the illustrator, who considered each of the writer’s scenes to be “complete and perfect to the last detail.”
The sixteen signed limited edition prints from Rockwell’s own collection comprise this exhibition featuring the artist’s timeless images for these American classics.

Art for Nature's Sake: Duck Stamps and Wetland Conservation
|
8/3/2010 -
10/3/2010
Art for Nature's Sake commemorates the 75th anniversary of one of our country's most successful conservation programs—the Federal Duck Stamp Program.
Since 1934, the sale of duck stamps to sportsmen and collectors has generated millions of dollars for the procurement and conservation of a resource often maligned and considered useless—marshes, swamps, potholes, and bogs, areas otherwise known as wetlands.
The initial purpose of the duck stamp program was to protect the wildlife inhabiting these places (especially waterfowl) at a time when the U.S. was awakening to the fact that it was squandering its wildlife and wild places.
Panels explaining the important benefits and diversity of wetlands, and existing threats accompany 36 stamps and signed waterfowl prints—examples of some of the finest nature art from artists such as Maynard Reece, the Hautman brothers, John Ruthven, Nancy Howe, and Adam Grimm and many others.
The exhibit is a production of the Cincinnati Museum Center.
