Welcome to the newest addition to the Polk Museum of Art website - eMUSEings! Bringing you closer to the Museum — even when far away — eMUSEings is a collection of entries written by our staff to allow you to experience different aspects of the Museum, our collection, and the world of art in engaging new ways. Stay tuned for more as we create a fun virtual space for you to re-visit often!
“One of my favorite works (and artists) in our collection is Attempt to Speak Clearly by Ummarid 'Tony' Eitharong. I was first attracted to Tony's work when I saw his abstract paintings at Mayfaire by-the-Lake.”
“I was born 30 days before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, and everything and everyone in this screen-print by Robert Rauschenberg either lived or occurred before my time. “
“I realize, looking back now, why I always go back to Neel and that show: I love those artists, in particular, whose styles are inimitably and unmistakably theirs. You KNOW a Neel when you see one.”
