These working-class women were a visible presence in the city, washing and ironing in shops open to the street or carrying heavy baskets of clothing. Their job was among the most difficult and poorly paid at the time, forcing some laundresses to supplement their income through sex work. The industry fascinated Degas throughout his long career, beginning in the 1850s and continuing until his final decade of work. He created about 30 depictions of laundresses, united for the first time in this exhibition. The artworks from this series\u2014revolutionary in their emphasis on women\u2019s work, the strenuousness of such labor, and social class\u2014were featured in Degas\u2019s earliest and most significant exhibitions, where they were praised by critics as epitomizing modernity.<\/p>\n<p><em>Degas and the Laundress<\/em>\u00a0contextualizes these works with paintings, drawings, and prints of the same subject by the artist\u2019s contemporaries\u2014including Gustave Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec\u2014as well as painters that he influenced and was influenced by, from Honor\u00e9 Daumier to Pablo Picasso. It also presents ephemera, such as posters, photographs, and books, that reveal the widespread interest that Parisians of all social classes had in the topic of laundresses during the late 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is accompanied by an interdisciplinary, richly illustrated publication featuring thematic essays by scholars of art history, literature, and history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Exhibition Tickets<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adults $15; seniors, students, and children ages 6 through 17 $12; adult groups (10 or more) $10; member guests $8; children 5 and under and CMA members FREE<\/p>\n<p>Principal support is provided by Hahn Loeser &amp; Parks LLP.

This exhibition, on view in the CMA\u2019s textile and Egyptian galleries, brings together around 50 objects that explore the influence of Egyptomania in fashion by juxtaposing contemporary fashion and jewelry loaned from around the world with fine and decorative artworks from the CMA\u2019s collection.\u00a0<em>Egyptomania: Fashion\u2019s Conflicted Obsession<\/em>\u00a0examines designers\u2019 interpretations of themes, such as Egyptian dress, funerary process, and religion, that shape our contemporary perceptions of ancient Egyptian culture.<\/p>\n<p>The complex history of European imperialism in Egypt, which dates back to the ages of the Greeks and Romans, has made Egyptomania in European and American art controversial. After a lull in diplomatic European interactions with Egypt from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, the 1798 invasion of the country by the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, reinvigorated European and American interest in ancient Egyptian art and culture.<\/p>\n<p>European archaeological expeditions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries sent back massive amounts of Egyptian art to European and American museums, rousing a recurring interest in its forms in decorative arts, architecture, and fashion. After the 1922 discovery of King Tutankhamun\u2019s tomb, fashion\u2019s leading minds, from Paul Poiret to accessory enterprises like Cartier, fiercely embraced ancient Egyptian art as inspiration, making Egyptomania a staple design element. Since then, interest in ancient Egyptian culture has expanded rapidly across media, particularly platforms adjacent to the fashion industry. The exhibition also displays videos of runway shows that demonstrate fashion\u2019s continued discourse with Egyptian art.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous questions raised by the intersection between Egyptomania and fashion in today\u2019s social climate are also examined in the exhibition. Dialogues about cultural appropriation, ancient Egypt\u2019s place in African history, and Black empowerment continue to bubble to the surface, critiquing fashion\u2019s conflicted obsession with Egyptian art.<\/p>\n<p>Generous support of<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>Egyptomania: Fashion\u2019s Conflicted Obsession<\/em>\u00a0is provided by Maison Yeya.

This exhibition marks the Cleveland debut of these rare images, all of which come from a single album and were shot in 1886 and 1887, an important juncture in the artist\u2019s life. On display alongside Dayal\u2019s photographs are historical Indian paintings, textiles, clothing, and jewelry from the museum\u2019s collection. These objects provide viewers with insight into the cultural context and help translate the objects in the photographs from monochrome into color.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dayal was a surveyor working for the British government when he took up photography as a hobby in 1874. In 1885, he attempted to make it his career, and by 1887, he had cemented his stature as one of the country\u2019s top photographers, British or Indian. This rare early album pictures both the maharajas of princely India and the British colonial elite. Dayal produced formal portraits but also more personal views of the Indian nobility. In a moving portrait of a ten-year-old maharaja, Dayal reveals the boy beneath the crown. Weighed down by necklaces and jewels, he occupies a chair that is too tall for him; his stockinged feet curl under so they touch the ground.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dayal\u2019s talent also won him access to the highest levels of British society. He photographed government meetings and leisurely afternoons of badminton and picnics, costume parties, and even a private moment of communion between an Englishman and his bulldog. Dayal portrayed how the British brought England with them to India and, in some images, the Indian servants who supported that lifestyle. The photographer cultivated his relationship with the military by documenting troop maneuvers, several views of which are included.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visually striking, seductively charming, and highly informative, these photographs and objects offer new insights into the early career of India\u2019s most important 19th-century photographer and into British and Indian life at the height of the colonial \u201cRaj.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Raja Deen Dayal: The King of Indian Photographers<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is made possible with support from Raj and Karen Aggarwal and Anne T. and Donald F.

Kloiber. One of the leading composers of late Romantic symphonic music, Gustav Mahler (1860\u20131911) was born in Bohemia (modern Czech Republic) and active in Germany and Austria. His monumental Second Symphony is considered the grandest of all symphonies from the 1800s. Requiring more than 100 instrumentalists, two soloists, and a full chorus, and at nearly 80 minutes, it surpassed its choral predecessors by Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, and Franz Liszt in range and conception.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mahler wrote the dramatic score between 1888 and 1894 in his characteristically bold musical script, mainly in intense black ink, with some parts in brown or violet. It is a working manuscript with inserted leaves, corrections, deletions, and revisions. Additions to the orchestration are written in blue crayon in the first three movements, and in violet ink in the final movement. The complete manuscript is 232 pages, comprising 24- and 28-stave (musical staff) papers in unbound bifolios. This is the composer\u2019s only handwritten manuscript of the complete symphony and includes the work\u2019s finale, its crowning glory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Cleveland Orchestra acknowledges Dr. Herbert G.

Throughout the South Asian subcontinent, many populations recognize the power of divinities who personify the life-giving forces of nature to confer gifts of abundance: food, wealth, and children. In art, an image of a woman or goddess of child-bearing age could visually signal the same ideal as depictions of trees or other types of vegetation bearing fruits and flowers. This ideal is auspiciousness, which refers to the success and good fortune brought by entities that give and support life. Filling spaces with vegetal imagery communicates plenitude and auspiciousness, which, in turn, are considered visually beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In paintings, textiles, and jewelry, images of supernatural plants mark the presence of magic associated with the powers of nature. Individual flowers also connote specific concepts to the knowledgeable viewer. The lotus, a water flower, signals birth, creation, preservation, and transcendence. Narcissus, which blooms in early spring, references mystical renewal or rebirth. Roses are used in the context of love and fidelity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Talking trees, animal-bearing plants, and other supernatural aspects of nature feature in stories that circulated among travelers across land and sea routes connecting India with the greater Islamic world. The works in this gallery reveal how extraordinary vegetative imagery resonated internationally and across religious and social divides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandart.org\/exhibitions\/colors-kyoto-seifu-yohei-ceramic-studio\"><strong>Colors of Kyoto: The Seif\u016b Yohei Ceramic Studio<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Through Sunday, March 10, 2024 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery | Gallery 010 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Colors of Kyoto: The Seif\u016b Yohei Ceramic Studio<\/em>\u00a0showcases works in porcelain and stoneware made by the Kyoto-based studio of Seif\u016b Yohei from the late 19th to the mid-20th century.

The exhibition is the first in North America to comprehensively examine the studio\u2019s output from the time of its founder, Seif\u016b Yohei I (1801\u20131861), through that of its fourth-generation head, Seif\u016b Yohei IV (1871\u20131951). This fulsome presentation of their creations is made possible through a gift of more than 100 individual and sets of works from the James and Christine Heusinger Collection, an assemblage strategically acquired over the past three decades with the goal of representing the full range of forms and styles produced under the Seif\u016b Yohei name. The show and its catalogue also use the collection as a lens through which to analyze aspects of the modernization of Japan and to consider the history of international trade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just over 400 years ago, ceramists in Japan first successfully fired porcelain, and from the mid-1600s, Japan took advantage of a gap in the global porcelain trade left by the temporary exit of China from the market, following the demise of the Ming dynasty (1368\u20131644) and the maritime prohibitions of the early Qing dynasty (1644\u20131911), to secure orders for its porcelains in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the late 1800s, participation of Japanese ceramists in international expositions also became a forum for constructing national identity. While it has garnered less attention in exhibitions and publications outside Japan, there was a robust domestic market for Japanese porcelains as well, including vessels for use in\u00a0<em>sencha<\/em>, or Chinese-style tea, gatherings.\u00a0<em>Colors of Kyoto<\/em>\u00a0features works by members of the Seif\u016b family that reflect both the ceramics culture of Kyoto, an ancient city and former capital of Japan, and the artists\u2019 engagement with Chinese forms and techniques as an alternative way to bring Japanese porcelain into the modern era at a time when Western cultures were leaving a major mark in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Colors of Kyoto: The Seif\u016b Yohei Ceramic Studio<\/em>\u00a0is funded in part with a generous award from the Japan Foundation 2023 Exhibitions Abroad Support Program.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandart.org\/exhibitions\/francis-al%C3%BFs-paradox-praxis-5?date=2023-12-01\"><strong>Francis Al\u00ffs: Paradox of Praxis\u00a05<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Through Sunday March 17, 2024 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video Project Room | Gallery 224B \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Paradox of Praxis 5<\/em>, Francis Al\u00ffs is shown kicking a flaming soccer ball at night through the streets<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>of Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, Mexico, until it finally extinguishes.

The \u201csouth\u201d is a constellation of cities, mountain ranges, lakes, and rivers reaching as far west as Mount Lu, about eight hours from Shanghai by car (684 kilometers, or 425 miles). Core episodes in Chinese history and literature were set in or inspired by these sites. Transmitted through text and image, records and representations of Jiangnan occupied a significant position in the lives of creators and consumers of culture across East and Southeast Asia in the centuries leading up to the present. Some of the paintings and painted ceramics in this gallery show how Japanese artists of the past portrayed two landmarks in Jiangnan, Mount Lu and West Lake, and Xiao-Xiang, a place located physically west of Jiangnan but an important touch point in artistic productions from that region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandart.org\/exhibitions\/liturgical-textiles-late-medieval-germany\"><strong>Liturgical Textiles from Late Medieval Germany<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Through Sunday, August 4, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gallery 115 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cleveland Museum of Art has a particularly rich selection of liturgical textiles (textiles used during\u00a0religious ceremonies) from the Middle Ages (about 500\u20131500). In cathedrals, monasteries, and parish churches, they were used at many different points of church life. They covered the altar table, were used during mass, or served as vestments, or garments, for the clergy. They were usually richly decorated with pictorial programs, allowing insights into the thinking and piety of each time period.<\/p>\n<p>They were often produced within monastic communities. Nuns, in particular, are believed to have made textiles. In the late Middle Ages (about 1200\u20131500), production increased sharply, and especially in Italy, textiles were also produced industrially on a large scale and delivered throughout Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Textiles are particularly sensitive to light, and accordingly, they can only be exhibited for a limited period in order to preserve their colors and fabrics for later generations by keeping them in a dark, climate-controlled space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On-Site Collection Tours\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clevelandart.org\/visit\/tours\/daily-guided-tours\"><strong>Guided Tours<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday and Sunday, 1:00 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>FREE;\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.clevelandart.org\/overview\/9687\"><strong>ticket required<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Join a public tour to learn new perspectives and enjoy great storytelling about works in the museum\u2019s collection.
