Jules-Louis Dupré (French, 1811-1889) Reflections, 19th Century Oil on canvas 18 1/2 x 14 1/4 inches Gift of Arthur I. Appleton

The theme for today's @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange is forests & landscapes. Here is Jules-Louis Dupré's "Reflections." Dupré carefully divided the canvas into thirds to show water, tree line and sky, conveying a large amount of terrain in a relatively compact space.

@Philbrook @cararomerophoto We have an artwork that complements your artwork. Matthew Bennett's "Primary Color." Here's a photo of the model standing in front of the completed artwork.

NEW ON VIEW! Now this is a #superhero movie we want to see. @cararomerophoto Here, Romero photographed Arla Marquez (Seneca-Cayuga/ Shoshone-Bannock/Blackfoot) as a Native superhero who proudly stands as a warrior.

Don't forget to vote for the Appleton as Best Museum!
