Through November 22, Kaleidoscope: Paintings and Drawings by Hananiah Harai. Influenced by the Cubist vocabulary and a lifelong passion for East European icons, Harai developed a lyrical, figurative style characterized by wit and joie de vivre. This show includes paintings, drawings, and collages from the '50s through the '80s, most from the artist's collection. Children's Corridor/ Forman Gallery.
Through January 4, Form and Glaze: Fulper Pottery from the Donald S. Hall Collection. Leopard Skin Crystalline, Elephant's Breath and Cat's Eye Flambe are a few of the more than 200 glazes that distinguish Fulper ware, a prized American art pottery from the early 20th century. The installation includes more than 50 objects collected over the past 20 years by Donald Hall, former director of the Strasenburgh Planetarium.
Through January 17, Living with Art: Rochester Collects. In 1914, the gallery mounted the first of many exhibitions drawn from works in private Rochester collections. The generous spirit of those early lenders lives on in the enthusiasts and connoisseurs who have agreed to share their personal treasures as the gallery celebrates its 85th birthday. This holiday exhibition gives visitors a rare opportunity to see important works that usually remain "behind closed doors."
Through February 7, Ronald Kitaj: In Our Time. Although he has been associated with the Pop art move, Kataj's work derives from a much wider range of pictorial and literary sources. All prints from his 1969 portfolio use photorealistic images of books to touch on subjects of vital concern to the artist, including controversial topics in cultural and political history.
