Cobalt Dreams: Unveiling the Beauty of Flow Blue
January 27, 2024 @ 10:00 am – May 11, 2024 @ 5:00 pm
In the Rebecca Cole Gallery, the Pearl will present “Cobalt Dreams: Unveiling the Beauty of Flow Blue,” showcasing the collection of Vivian Kromer. Designed as if guests are stepping into the dining room of a welcoming home, the exhibition encourages visitors to look beyond the function of these exquisite pieces to discover the artistry in each one.
The general time period of collectible flow blue spans from the 1820s to the 1920s. In the 1800s, with Chinese porcelain captivating hearts, English potters aspired to emulate its charm.
Legend has it that the inception of “flow” blue china was a fortuitous accident—an abundance of chemical or glaze that caused the blue to bleed and blur onto the surrounding white canvas. With this unintentional stroke of brilliance, a craze was born, forever cementing Flow Blue as a distinctive chapter in the annals of porcelain craftsmanship.
Post-Impressionist Exploration
January 27, 2024 @ 10:00 am – May 11, 2024 @ 5:00 pm
In France’s late 19th-century artistic landscape, the radical movements of Impressionism and its subsequent evolution into Post-Impressionism marked a profound departure from traditional artistic norms. Join the Pearl in exploring the work of this era, which challenged the very essence of artistic expression.
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free. For more information visit pearlmfa.org.
2024 Student Art Contest
April 1 – April 30, 2024
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to present the annual Student Art Contest winners who were recognized for their outstanding artistic achievements. The 2024 Student Art Contest accepted entries from 1st to 12th grade students in public, private, and home schools in the Northwest Houston area.
The contest entries were first adjudicated by the individual school districts and those finalists were submitted to the Pearl. Jurors then judged all entries according to four criteria: technique, personal expression, organization, and integration. This was a blind adjudication meaning no information about the artist was known to the panel of jurors. The jurors selected first, second, third place, honorable mention, and juried selections out of 250 entries for each division.
