Tacoma Art Museum will show the work of this year’s nominees and winners.

Between Clouds of Memory: The Ceramic Art of Akio Takamori
May 26 – October 8, 2006

This exhibition presents a twenty-five-year mid-career survey exhibition of one of the country's leading ceramic artists. Born in Japan, Takamori incorporates his heritage in the style and content of his large-scale figurative ceramic sculpture. A marriage of Western and non-Western influences, he uses black-line drawing, reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, and calligraphy coupled with an intense interest in the human form. The artist currently heads the ceramic program at University of Washington in Seattle.

The Essence of Line: French Drawing from Ingres to Degas
June 10 – September 17, 2006
For the first time, the renowned collections of nineteenth-century French drawings from the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum combine for this special exhibition. With only three stops on the national tour, Tacoma is fortunate to be the only venue west of the Mississippi presenting this extraordinary cache of art. The Essence of Line features more than 100 rarely-shown drawings and watercolors by some of the most influential French artists of the nineteenth-century, including Eugene Delacroix, Honoré Daumier, Paul Cézanne, and Edgar Degas. From revealing preparatory sketches to beautiful finished watercolors, these works illuminate the range of French art over the course of a century of innovation.
