Happy Birthday, Doris Leeper! Leeper created this site-specific installation for the Hunter in 1975. She is known for her geometric art, but she was also a passionate environmentalist. In fact, Doris helped protect the longest stretch of undeveloped beach on Florida's east coast. #ThroughHerEyes #YearOfFemaleArtists

Did you know that the last person to live in the mansion was actually the museum’s ﬁrst director, Russell Thornton? In 1951, the mansion was used as an art gallery and Mr. Thornton was hired as the director in 1952. He lived on the third ﬂoor of the mansion with his two Siamese cats until August 1966. #MuseumFromHome

George L.K. Morris based this painting on a Spanish Colonial church in Tucson, Arizona. The figure in the middle is a kachina — a sacred spirit for Pueblo Native Americans. What else can you see?

“When I am out shooting I try to be free of thought. I don’t want to be looking for an image. I try to slow down, keep my eyes open, pay attention to my surroundings. Many times the images will present themselves.”

Artist Rockwell Kent loved to travel. This painting is a scene from his honeymoon in Ireland. He and his new wife spent several months here -- in fact, the little brown building on the left was a cowshed that he converted into a studio!

Have you visited the mansion recently? Two artworks may seem out of place: Whitfield Lovell’s "Hope" and Glenn Ligon’s "Untitled (I Am Somebody)." These modern artworks add an important voice often missing in galleries focused on traditional works.

The artists of these works have a lot in common. They're both African American, were born in the Bronx about a year apart, and use wood in their work. Yet their art is unique. What voice do each of these artworks bring to a historical space?

"For me, photography is about building relationships. I am enticed by portraiture because it gives me the time to develop a certain intimacy with the person I’m photographing. Much like any relationship, good portraiture is built upon an open and honest dialog. Be as forthcoming and vulnerable as the subject before you. I tend to leave behind as much as I take away.” Brandon Thibodeaux, “Southbound” Artist

Perhaps this inspiring advice from @brandonthibodeaux will inspire you with your own photography. Tag your photos #MySouthbound to be featured on our website!

This bright scene is actually a self portrait by Sister Gertrude Morgan (far left). Sister Gertrude Morgan was a self-taught artist whose work reflected her Christian faith. In 1965, she began wearing all white to symbolize her preparation to be the bride of Christ.

This painting, made by Grandma Moses in 1947, depicts the kind of nostalgic scene that made her so popular. Ever heard of Currier & Ives? Grandma Moses painted for the popular printing firm. (Speaking of which, the Hunter has 36 Currier & Ives prints in its collection!) You can see this painting in "More Than Folk: Celebrating Self-Taught Artists" on view now in the Mansion.

In our current world of 24/7 screens, there is something grounding in a permanent image. While seeing an artwork once is good, returning to it, developing a relationship with it, writing your own story with it -- that is powerful. If you haven't visited recently, consider this your invitation to return. Our permanent collection is ready for you.

“Both of these pieces break you apart… and then put you back together.” We’re exploring how Glenn Ligon’s “Untitled (I Am Somebody)” relates to artworks in the Hunter’s collection. Today, we’ll compare and contrast “Untitled (I Am Somebody)” with James Seawright’s “Mirror V.” Both pieces repeat an element -- be it a phrase or a reflection -- many times and present the many versions as a whole. Does the repetition in these pieces dilute them or make them more powerful?

Lilly Martin Spencer was a popular artist in the 19th century. She painted in the genre style, and many of her paintings depict domestic scenes. Spencer was the sole financial provider for her household, and her husband supported her career, which was unusual during her lifetime.

Did you know... The Hunter has a store full of things you can’t get anywhere else in town? Admission to the museum isn’t required — in fact, the store even has its own entrance! When you come, you might meet Page, pictured waving above. 👋 #buylocal #chattanooga #MuseumStoreSunday #BeAPatron
