The Elegant Salon: European Academic Paintings from the Syracuse University Art Collection, August 27 – October 10. In the late 19th-century, avant-garde artists challenged theories about fine art that were fundamental to the teachings of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the Academy of Unified Fine Arts in Vienna. Though the schools’ teachings and theories fell out of favor, their art was enthusiastically acquired by American museums and collectors. This exhibition from the Syracuse University Art Collection includes the romantic works of William Adolphe Bouguereau and Jean-Leon Gérôme, Conrad Kiesel, and the luminous palette of Rudolph Ernst and other Europeans.
