These artists communicate the beauty and vitality of water, focusing on nature and engaging the viewer in affirming the intrinsic aesthetic, emotional and essential life value of water.

Frida and Friends: The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo
September 12, 2013 – November 17, 2013
Opening Reception: September 12, 2013 at 6 p.m.This fall, FMoPA will present an exhibition about the life and times of Frida Kahlo. Kahlo was born and raised in Mexico, but by the 1920s, she and husband Diego Rivera occupied the center of a vibrant artistic, intellectual, and political scene in Mexico. For example, American artist Edward Weston traveled to Mexico City in 1923 along with his lover, photographer Tina Modotti, and shared his artistic experimentation with the painter Kahlo. This exhibition will showcase important images from Lola Álvarez Bravo, Lucienne Bloch, Imogen Cunningham, Leo Matiz, Nickolas Muray, Emmy Lou Packard, Guillermo Zamora, among others and showcase snapshots of the political figures Kahlo turned to for inspiration and friendship.

Pleasure Grounds and Restoring Spaces Photographs of our National Parks
June 1 through October 6, 2013
At once a seemingly untouched virgin land and a territory of limitless opportunity for development, the American landscape has always fueled the imagination of artists. As rapid industrialization began to threaten some of America’s most striking wilderness areas, President Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and naturalist John Muir (1838–1914) led the urgent call to protect the land on a national scale. Photography was not only an aid to the cause of conservation but also a way to popularize the newly formed tourist sites, aligning nature with American values.
Comprised primarily of photographs depicting National and State Parks, this exhibition explores the relationships between photographers and the American landscape. The earliest date from the 1860s, including albumen prints by Carleton Watkins and William H. Jackson, and one of the most recent is a colossal view of the Florida Everglades by Clyde Butcher.

Witness to War: WWII Photographs from the Collections of Veterans
June 21, 2013 - October 27, 2013
Witness to War is an exhibition of photographs from The Ringling Museum’s permanent collection and the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience at Florida State University. It honors U.S. veterans through a gripping visual account of WWII via the lenses of soldier-photographers who documented their first-hand experiences at war. Comprised of snapshots, candid portraits, and pictures documenting action on the front lines, the photographs from these personal collections gifted by veterans offer us a unique historical perspective of WWII from individual servicemen, a perspective not always in step with officially sanctioned press photographs from the era, or the more iconic World War II photographs that have come to symbolize the War in the public’s consciousness.
Digital Images for the group should be jpeg files 1400x1000 at 100ppi files names should be initials, month,year, title example (jim_swallow_treeballet_0411.jpg). You may also bring prints that are matted image area should be at least 8x10
