"I think one of Kiefer's other key investigations is this eternal battle between civilization and nature." Anselm Kiefer created this work, "Jesaia: Ober euren Stadten wird Gras wachsen (Isaiah: Grass Will Grow Over Your Cities)," in 1999. This incredible instance of collage is a part of our Collection, and is currently on view in "Cut Up/Cut Out: Photomontage and Collage." Due to the delicate nature of this work, we can only display one spread of the book at a time. Take a behind the scenes look at the other spreads in the Closer Look video on our YouTube channel. You'll hear from Lauren Richman, Ph.D., William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography, and see up close how the pages of this book are overlaid with sand, ash, and grit.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we wanted to spotlight a few Hispanic artists on view from our Collection! Next up: Pablo Picasso. Picasso needs little introduction, but we'll give you one anyway. The Spanish artist is considered one of the founders of Cubism, and this, along with his prolific output of artwork, has made him one of the most famous artists in history. We're lucky enough to have multiple works by Picasso in our Collection, like "The Red Foulard." This oil on canvas primarily depicts a red scarf (the foulard), a mandolin, and a bowl of fruit. It's painted with the shifted perspective that was already an iconic element of Cubism at the time of this work's creation in 1924. Picasso revolutionized the art world with his approach to new styles of creation. His fearless artistic exploration invited future creators to break boundaries and experiment with their own artistic voices. See Picasso's work during your next visit to the Norton, and join us for our Nuestra Cultura Community Day on October 5, 2024, to celebrate the contribution of Hispanic creatives to our community. 🧣 Pablo Picasso, "The Red Foulard," 1924 Installation view of European Collection Galleries (2024) at the Norton Museum of Art.
