Harn Museum of Art Review


DSCN5832

If you have the opportunity to stop by the Harn Museum of Art on the University of FL. campus, I would definitely suggest you DO SO!
We were there this past week and while it was between major exhibits, the displayed work from their permanent collection did not disappoint. Being a Sculptor and Painter I was excited that the first piece I saw was a Frank Stella work, Zandvoort, 1981. This mixed media wall hanging was alive with colors and shapes.

Another thing I've always wanted to see up close is the work by David Smith. The Museum had 2 on display, Hi Candida and Zig I

Paintings were not in short supply either. There was Florida Lake by Milton Avery, Jim Tadell's Place by George Bellows, Pulling Turpentine by Ellis Wilson, Flute Player and the Watermelon Eater by Picasso just to man a few of the 9,000 works of art in the permanent collection.

The Harn museum has eleven galleries on one floor and admission is free. So take a day trip and enjoy a wonderful museum.
