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.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
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?

@mickalenethomas @derrickadamsny two artists that inspire me. More than than the objects, it’s the grind. Never wear down! Always resilient. @nwandersonart #blackbeilliance #blackart

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

Friend or foe? Cute or scary? You decide!
This piece was made by Bessie Harvey (1929-1994). Harvey loved reimagining objects from nature and often said that God was the real artist. Harvey became well-known worldwide after displaying her artwork in an art show at the hospital where she worked.
Bessie Harvey, “Untitled,” found wood, spray paint, nails, plastic eyes, Gift of Gladys and Ross Faires, I

If you could capture hope, what would it look like?

The mason jars sitting on the shelf in this work of art are filled with items that have symbolic meaning for the artist (Come see it in person to find out what they are!). The final jar is empty and meant to represent hope. What would you put in the final jar?

Whitfield Lovell (b. 1959), Hope, 1999, charcoal on wood, found objects, 47" x 48" x 7," Museum purchase made possible by the generosity of the 2000 Collectors' Group

What does this sculpture remind you of?
As many of you know, we unveiled this vivid permanent installation last February.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we invite you to take your own picture and tag us -- it looks different from every angle! “All Equations Are Wave Equations” by Alyson Shotz. @alysonshotz

Here’s a glimpse of our current special exhibition, “Blak Origin Moment” by artist Noel W Anderson. These pieces are powerful, and we highly recommend seeing them in person.
