General Cornell Fine Arts Description

The Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Central Florida’s most comprehensive collegiate fine arts museum, is located on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park. Accredited by the American Association of Museums, the newly expanded Cornell re-opened in January 2006 and is home to over 5,500 works of art from the ancient to the contemporary. Highlights from the permanent collection include paintings, prints, sculpture and drawings by Winslow Homer, Albert Bierstadt, Pablo Picasso and Henrí Matisse, among others, that are shown on a revolving basis. The Cornell at Rollins presents a wide-ranging exhibition program, which changes seasonally, complemented by a roster of outstanding scholarly presentations and gallery talks.

The Cornell Fine Arts Museum annually presents 6-15 originally conceived and curated exhibitions including past showings featuring Louise Nevelson in Nevelson by Night; Henri Matisse’s Jazz; Revising Arcadia: The Landscape in Contemporary Art and Painting for Joy: New Japanese Paintings of the 1990s, sponsored by the Japan Foundation of Tokyo with the Consulate General of Japan in Miami. Current exhibitions at the Cornell feature Rembrandt van Rijn in Sordid and Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt’s Etchings, Selections from the John Villarino Collection; L.C. Armstrong: The Paradise Triptychs and Josef Albers in Josef Albers Color Genius. Future exhibitions will include Jack R. Smith: Portraits of American Poets, featuring one of the most powerful of contemporary portraitists working in America, Jack R. Smith; Jess: To and From the Printed Page which focuses on the work of the San Francisco-based artist Jess (Collins) and the ways in which his imagery was in dialogue with the written word; and Portrait of a Lady, which showcases selections from the Cornell’s permanent collection of portraits and works about and by women. Showings are complimented by a roster of outstanding scholarly presentations and gallery talks.

"a kind of platform enclosed by a balustrade in front of, in the distance, in the forground, in the background, in place of a guide or direction set up to indicate the proper road to a place, in due time, in recent time, in the future, in the past, in parallel to the tiers of boxes of which the gallery consists, in a moment, inside and into, in many respects the screen separating the stage from the auditorium, in relation to a piece of cloth or similar material suspended by the top so as to admit of being withdrawn sideways" --Leigh-Ann Pahapill
