Black and White and Read All Over: Comics of the New Millennium
Cartoon Art Museum
December 17, 2011 – May 6, 2012
The newspaper comics page is known for its sense of tradition. The Katzenjammer Kids is still in syndication more than 110 years since its debut, and popular favorites Peanuts, The Family Circus, Blondie, Beetle Bailey and Dennis The Menace are among the comics still going strong as they’ve passed the half-century mark. New strips are introduced every year, however, and millions of readers worldwide enjoy classic comics—and new ones—on a daily basis.

Egon Schiele, Munich

Egon Schiele
Kunstubau
3 December 2011 – 4 March 2012
Egon Schiele is one of the most popular modernist artists, who stands like almost no other for the close relationship between an artist’s work and life. His early tragic death, his turbulent friendship with his model Wally, and the Neulengbach affair, in which he was imprisoned for twenty-four days in 1912 for allegedly seducing a minor, have all led to ongoing public interest in his private life. His best-known works have therefore often been seen in terms of this narrow focus on the autobiographical – nudes of young women showing their sex in provocative poses, and seemingly pathological self-stylisation.

Mavis Smith, Doylestown

Mavis Smith: Hidden Realities
Michener Art Museum
January 14 – May 20, 2012
You’re strolling down a busy sidewalk, absorbed in your thoughts. Suddenly someone walking the other way glances in your direction, you glance back, and your reverie is broken. Two souls meet, briefly, then the moment passes, and without breaking stride you each walk on.

The paintings of Mavis Smith are about that moment, hinting at a narrative, yet remaining intentionally elusive. Mavis Smith: Hidden Realities will be on view at the James A. Michener Art Museum January 14 to May 20, 2012 in the Fred Beans Gallery.
