Focus on the Collection: Francesco Clemente's High Fever
Focus on the Collection: Francesco Clemente's High Fever presents a series of nine dark and mysterious woodcut prints exploring the beauty, pleasure, and pain of love by contemporary Italian artist Francesco Clemente. Influenced by the mysticism of India, Clemente conveys both the sensual and spiritual aspects of love, including childbirth and motherhood. Clemente exploits the natural grain of his woodblocks to dramatic effect, allowing it to become part of the repertoire of expressive marks found in each of the compositions. The grain and the dark tones of the ink reference the Northern European history of the woodcut. Museum hours: The Museum opens at 10:00 am Tuesday–Sunday. The Museum closes at 5:00 pm Tuesday–Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, the Museum closes at 9:00 pm The Museum is closed on Monday.
