“Still Lifes” from the Museum of Nebraska Art continues as the Kimmel Gallery exhibition at the Morton-James Public Library. This exhibition features a selection of still life paintings from the Museum of Nebraska Art Collection. As a subject matter, still lifes transcend time and cultures to express wealth and identity, and often for the artis, their skills and style. Explore how artists use basic art principles such as composition, line, light, color and perspective to craft narratives and different painting styles. The exhibit closes May 2. This exhibit has been organized by the Museum of Nebraska Art as part of the ARTreach program, bringing original art to communities throughout the state.
