Masterworks of Victorian Art from the Collection of John H. Schaeffer, an exhibition of British works from the Victorian period from the private collection of Australian businessman and entrepreneur John H. Schaeffer. The exhibition will consist of paintings, sculpture and works on paper by the luminaries of Victorian art including, William Holman Hunt, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John William Waterhouse and George Frederic Watts. Many of these pieces have never been shown before in the United States. "Beyond that, these works offer a window into an era of British history that is important to the development of our own history and culture. In this historical moment — the beginning of the industrial world — artists are trying to find a way to deal with the newness and complexities of modern life.” says Museum of Art Curator Paul Anderson. The works in the exhibition will be grouped into five thematic categories: religious works, paintings depicting mythology, literature and history, paintings of everyday life, paintings by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and works by other European artists. Through August 16.

ST. GEORGE AREA
St. George Art Museum UPCOMING:
Bear River: Last Chance to Change Course in the Main Gallery. The Bear River is one of the longest rivers in America never to reach the ocean. Its 500-mile journey begins in northern Utah's Uintah Mountains, hugs the border with southwestern Wyoming, loops through southeastern Idaho, and heads back to Utah where it empties into the Great Salt Lake west of Brigham City. University of Utah communications professor, documentarian, photographer, and author Craig Denton has followed the sometimes rugged, sometimes lazy course of the Bear River. The result is a recently published book and this accompanying photographic exhibit.
With camera in hand, Denton recorded the dynamic hydrology and unique morphology that still ties the river to ancient Lake Bonneville."I've situated my camera at points along the Bear's course where important historical moments in the development of the West took place," the artist says. "I've also chronicled the stories of the stakeholders who rely on the river and who increasingly place more demands upon it." Through March 8, 2008.
