Ongoing	Optical Chronicle III Optical Chronicle III Date: Aug 14 through Apr 21 Location: Museum of Nebraska Art 2401 Central Ave. , Kearney, NE Optical Chronicle III August 14, 2018 – April 21, 2019 Author Henry M. Sayre in his book A World of Art discusses the various roles of the artist in society. He identifies four roles; the third is how artists make a visual record of the people, places, and events of their time and place. These identified roles provide the viewer with a touchstone through which they can then begin to interpret the work. This exhibition is the third in a series of four exhibitions, each dedicated to one of Sayre’s four guiding principles.

Reaching the plains, it quickly loses its momentum and begins to spread out and flow slowly across Nebraska from west to east. As it does so, it cuts a sinuous tracery through... Compelled To Tell: Form Compelled To Tell: Form Date: Jan 29 through May 19 Location: Museum of Nebraska Art 2401 Central Ave. , Kearney, NE Compelled To Tell: Form January 29 – May 19, 2019 During the making process, multiple visual possibilities are resonating in the mind of an artist. Simultaneously, instinct and conscious thought compel the artist. Ideally, the artwork soon has an independent energy. Visually, the term form can be applied to an entire artwork, identifying the work as either a painting or a sculpture for example. Within an artwork, form refers to actual shapes and spaces in a sculpture or the illusion of three-dimensional shapes in a painting. How an artist...
