At the Paul R. Jones Museum, Jerry Siegel: Uncommon Lens offers a way to look at an artist’s work alongside a portrait of its maker. The exhibition is listed in two parts, with different artists in each; visitors planning a late-October or early-November trip should check the dates before going.
A portrait beside the work
The exhibition draws on Siegel’s artist portraits and pairs them with works from the museum’s permanent collection. Rather than encountering an artwork on its own, visitors can consider it alongside Siegel’s view of the person who made it.
The artist group changes between the two parts. Part I included Amalia Amaki, Thornton Dial and Benny Andrews; Part II names Radcliffe Bailey, Lonnie Holley and Beverley Buchanan among its artists. Someone interested in a particular maker should use the part dates when planning a visit.
