The Lives of Objects: Still Lifes from the MONA Collection
Still life is a genre in art, otherwise known as a category of subject like landscape or figurative, that depicts human-made or natural objects. At first mention, the term may invoke images of flowers in a vase or an arrangement of fruit, but the broad definition of still life means the genre has seemingly endless possibilities.

Ruth G. Waddy: A Printmaking Prophet
Ruth G. Waddy (1909-2003) came to artmaking later in life, during her early fifties, as an effort to build stronger relationships with artists and improve her advocacy skills. As a result, Waddy created artwork in response to the world around her, incorporating political and social commentary related to the Black community to which she belonged in Southern California.
