from the artist. Picasso wouldn’t have developed his unique abstract style of painting if he hadn’t frequented museums in Africa, studying the tribal works produced by the natives.

The Chicanos contribution is shown through agriculture and architecture. The Anglos are shown as the scientific contributors and the third shows the union of all three, with the men…

One of the best parts of working on exhibitions drawn from the ZMA’s extensive permanent collection is the opportunity it provides for a look at some of the hidden gems at the museum.

The work was the Portrait of Mrs. Helen McCoy Storer, c. 1910 by Charles Alden Gray (1857-1933). While arguably not by one of the most well-known artists in our collection, it was, at that moment, the most…

exhibits. The museum hosts a vast assortment of artifacts entailing the history of America, from its multitude of early Native American art to current day.
