The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs
A protean artist, actor, and furniture-maker dedicated to the primacy of individual expression, Charles Rohlfs (1853–1936) called his unprecedented designs “artistic furniture.” His unusually inventive forms and imaginative carving combined many different influences, from the abstract naturalism of art nouveau styling to boldly direct forms characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement. This exhibition—the first major monograph of Rohlfs’ work—will present over forty pieces of his furniture and related objects. |

A Dream Come True: The Dallas Arts District
The Dallas Museum of Art opens up its archives to present a special exhibition celebrating the completion of the Arts District, which began just over 25 years ago when the DMA moved to Harwood Street from Fair Park. Archival images, ephemera, and media clips illustrating the establishment and growth of the Dallas Arts District will be on view this fall in the Museum’s first floor Concourse. The growth of the Museum—both in the size of the collections and in its expanded programming—will be presented chronologically, along with an Arts District “time line” showing the arrival of the other cultural institutions, culminating with the October opening of the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. |

The Lens of
Impressionism: Photography and Painting Along the Normandy
Coast, 1850–1874
An exploration of Impressionist painting’s response to
early photography within the context of a single geographic
locale that was intensely explored by painters and
photographers in the second half of the 19th century, the
coast of Normandy. The convergence of social, artistic,
technological and commercial forces along the Normandy coast
dramatically transformed the course of photography and
painting, ultimately making a profound impact on the history
of early Impressionism. Among the artists represented here
are Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, and Gustave Courbet, and
the exhibition will also include photographs of Gustav Le
Gray, Henri Le Seq, and Louis-Alphonse Davanne. |

Gustav Stickley
and the American Arts and Crafts Movement
The first comprehensive examination of the life and work
of the recognized patriarch of the American Arts and Crafts
movement, Gustav Stickley. The exhibition and accompanying
catalogue will explore Stickley as a business leader and
design proselytizer, whose body of work included
furnishings, architectural and interior designs, and related
imagery that became synonymous with the movement that was at
its height between approximately 1880 and 1910. This
exhibition will include more than 100 works produced by
Stickley’s designers and workshops; furniture, metalwork and
lamps, textiles, and numerous publications and letters,
drawings, and related designs. Also featured in the
exhibition is a re-creation of Stickley’s seminal model
dining room from his 1903 Syracuse Arts and Crafts
exhibition.

From the Private Collections of Texas: European Art, Ancient to Modern
The Kimbell plays host to 100 of the most important European paintings and sculptures ever held in private collections in Texas. Most of them are works normally hidden from public view, ranging from glorious Impressionist paintings that once decorated ranchers' homes in West Texas to gems of Renaissance and Baroque art owned by the great collectors of Dallas and Houston. Since first coming into wealth on a national scale in the 1920s, Texans have continued to assert a record of art collecting of the highest discernment. Over 40 collectors will be represented, and among the artists to be featured are Guercino, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, and Mondrian.
