Whimsy, Light… and Dark

July 13, 2019

Today’s blog is written by volunteer Andie DeLuca. Thank you to her for this fascinating and original look at our collection. We hope that you enjoy reading it just as much as we did!

 

We all need a little silliness in our lives! A chuckle, a grin, even an outright laugh fest. It’s so easy to find happy, light whimsical art in the Rental Sales Gallery. Just go to the Artists page of our website and click on ‘Search the Catalogue’. Enter “Whimsical” under the ‘Style’ dropdown menu and you will see, alphabetically by artists’ last name, all of the bright, colorful, and cheerful art that we have to offer.

From the loopy landscapes of Jane Aukshunas, to the abstract figurals of Karen Wippich and more, “Whimsical’ reveals the playful side of some of RSG’s artists.  However, If you are looking for something a little darker, enter “Macabre” instead to see the bizarre work of Richard Cutshall.

The Rental Sales Gallery, Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands.

These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities - past, present, future - and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
