David Maxwell: To The Point
Through July 19, 2009
Once you've seen a David Maxwell painting close up, you'll never look at painting the same way again. Often called a "contemporary Seurat," Maxwell (American, born in Chicago 1941-2006) painted the contemporary world in a meticulous pointillist technique. Thousands of perfect little dots come together to depict South Florida cityscapes and construction sites which Maxwell first photographed, as an aid to developing his compositions.
58th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition (June 10 – August 30, 2009)
This year’s All Florida Juried Exhibition presents 59 artworks – painting, sculpture, photography and installations – by 48 artists from across the state, selected from 1,260 entries. As the state’s oldest annual juried competition, over the years the Museum’s All Florida has introduced the work of thousands of Florida artists working in all media – emerging, under-recognized, and established younger and mid-career artists. The 58th All Florida Juried Exhibition reinforces the Museum’s commitment to Florida artists and reveals a provocative glimpse – through Florida artists’ eyes – of the state of the art today.

Expanding Boundaries: Lyrical Abstraction – Selections from the Permanent Collection (June 10 – August 30, 2009)
In the long and rich evolution of abstraction in the twentieth century, Lyrical Abstraction arose in the 1960s and 1970s, following the challenge of Minimalism and Conceptual art. Many artists began moving away from geometric, hard-edge, and minimal styles, toward more lyrical, sensuous, romantic abstractions worked in a loose, gestural style. These “lyrical abstractionists” sought to expand the boundaries of abstract painting, and to revive and reinvigorate a painterly “tradition” in American art.
The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10am – 5pm;
Wednesday 10am – 9pm; and Saturday and Sunday 12pm – 5pm. Admission is $8 for
adults, $6 for senior citizens (65 and older), $4 per person for group tours and $4 for
students. Admission during Special Exhibitions (December 16, 2008 – March11, 2009) is
$18 for adults, $17 for senior citizens (65 and older), $15 per person for group tours and
$6 for students. For more information call 561.392.2500 or visit
