Toledo Museum of Art April Exhibition Openings
For the Birds
April 13–Sept. 2, 2012, Gallery 18
This exhibition is inspired by the “Biggest Week in American Birding” festival held in Ottawa County each year during the spring migration of warblers and other migratory species. From May 4–13, thousands of birders will gather along the Lake Erie shoreline between Toledo and Sandusky to take in the spectacle. For the Birds celebrates the rich diversity of avian art in the Toledo Museum of Art’s permanent collection, delighting both art and nature lovers alike. Free admission.
Refraction/Reflection
April 20–Aug. 5, 2012, Works on Paper Galleries
Refraction and reflection both involve changes in light waves, and both affect how we see an image. With light, shape is realized, textures arise, color becomes, and line is defined. This exhibition of 100 photographs from the TMA collection focuses on themes of light, shadow, and reflection. Photographic images from the beginnings of the medium in the nineteenth century through contemporary times will be displayed. Among the artists represented are Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Eugene Atget, Imogen Cunningham, Robert Frank, Adam Fuss, Nadar, Man Ray, Edward Steichen, and Alfred Stieglitz. Free admission.

April 27–July 24, 2012, Hitchcock Gallery
