SUMMARY:Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery: Spring 2026 Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2026 Exhibitions\nThe Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery currently has two exhibitions on view through May 14\, 2026. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday\, from 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM\, or by appointment. \nThe One-Off Print: Monotypes from the UWM Art Collection\nThe monotype is a hybrid printmaking process in which ink is transferred from a flat matrix or printing plate onto a sheet of paper. In other words\, the monotype is a print form without a permanent matrix: it can only be printed once. The One-Off Print\, curated by Art History MA student Emma Erickson\, features monotypes from the UWM Art Collection produced by postwar American artists\, a time when experimental printmaking was on the rise. The exhibition highlights the versatility of the monotype\, a medium that bridges the disciplines of painting\, drawing\, and printmaking. \nWhat Is A Print?\nPrints – images made through a process of transferring ink from one surface to another – have for two millennia been rich sources of expressive exploration and crucial to the global circulation of images. Until the late-twentieth century\, most people experienced visual art primarily through prints. What Is A Print? surveys some of the major print processes represented in the UWM Art Collection\, including seminal printmakers like Albrecht Dürer\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, Francisco Goya\, and Pablo Picasso. By illuminating some of the complex technical details of printmaking\, the exhibition will enable viewers to consider the creative\, technical\, financial\, and social contexts that have shaped its history.

SUMMARY:Friends of Art History Guest Lecture
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Kim Sajet\, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum\nWhat is art history for?\nSince the dawn of civilization\, people have turned to art to make sense of the world around them. From Pliny the Elder’s account of artistic progress to Xie He’s theory of “spirit resonance” and Giorgio Vasari’s biographical narratives of artistic genius\, writers have theorized and systematized how art develops and why it matters. In 1764\, Johann Joachim Winckelmann first coined the term “history of art\,” helping to formalize the discipline and secure its place within the academy. What began as an effort to elevate the study of art eventually became a marker of cultural refinement. \nYet today\, art history — along with many related humanities disciplines — finds itself increasingly marginalized on university campuses and in public life. Programs shrink\, departments merge\, and scholarship is asked to defend its relevance. If art history is fundamentally the study of visual communication\, why has it struggled to communicate its own purpose? What is art history for? \nIn this talk\, Kim Sajet\, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum\, suggests that the answer lies not in defending old hierarchies or rehearsing inherited canons\, but in reimagining the purpose of studying art itself — less as a means of codifying culture or adjudicating status\, and more as a way of creating community and advancing a shared sense of global humanity. \nPhoto credit: Valerie Hill

SUMMARY:Fall 2026 Exhibitions in the Emile H. Mathis Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Emile H. Mathis Gallery is excited to announce our exhibitions for Fall 2026. \nThe exhibitions will be on view through Thursday\, November 5\, 2026. The Mathis Gallery is open Monday through Thursday\, 10:00am to 2:00pm (except during University breaks and unscheduled closures). \nRomancing the Stones: British and French Romantic Prints from the UWM Art Collection\nA transformative set of cultural movements\, now referred to as Romanticism\, emerged in Europe in the 1790s and continued to resonate for decades. Although challenging to define\, Romanticism was grounded in an explosion of knowledge and self-discovery. This new focus on individual experience led to a multitude of experimentation in visual art. Romantic artists were particularly drawn to the Sublime – the awe-inspiring power of nature – and the Picturesque – a calm but rugged representation that embodies the effects of time and the interaction of human-made and natural elements. \nRomancing the Stones examines the ways that French and British printmakers of the Romantic era used land and landscape to explore themes of temporality\, uncertainty\, loss\, and longing. These romantic landscapes often feature wide vistas\, historic buildings dripping with a sense of nostalgia and temporality\, and a subtle balance of serenity and wild nature layered together. \nWhat Is A Print?\nPrints – images made through a process of transferring ink from one surface to another – have for two millennia been rich sources of expressive exploration and crucial to the global circulation of images. Until the late-twentieth century\, most people experienced visual art primarily through prints. What Is A Print? surveys some of the major print processes represented in the UWM Art Collection\, including seminal printmakers like Albrecht Dürer\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, Francisco Goya\, and Pablo Picasso.
