Today’s featured event:
NORMAN - See Russian devotional artwork from the days of Romanov rule (1613-1918) at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, 555 Elm Ave. on the University of Oklahoma campus.
The works are included in a traveling exhibition titled “Tradition in Transition: Russian Icons from the Hillwood Collection,” and it offers a rare insight into Russian religious art during the Romanov reign.
The exhibit shows the effect Western culture had on icon paintings, the way icons from the period departed from tradition, and the emergence of decorative icon covers, or oklads. The show is taken from the collection of Hillwood Museum & Gardens, the Washington, D.C., home of Marjorie Merriweather Post.Â
International Arts & Artists, a Washington, D.C.-based exhibition service that focuses on cross-cultural, international exhibitions, is circulating “Tradition in Transition,” according to a news release.Â
The exhibit will be at the Norman museum through Aug. 31, if you can’t make it today.
Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
