Also on view:

Gallery Two: The Marvels of Old Masters: Rembrandt, Goya and Dürer A travelling exhibition of wood carvings, engraving, and woodcuts from three giants of art history: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), Francisco Goya (1746-1828), and Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). This exhibition is presented on loan from the Park West Museum.

TAM is pleased to present the special exhibition The Marvel of Old Masters: Rembrandt, Goya and Dürer, beautifully curated by Leigh R. Hendry, which showcases more than 60 engravings, etchings and woodcuts—created by Rembrandt, Goya and Dürer—three of art history’s most celebrated masters of these complex mediums.

The artworks, on loan from the Park West Museum, Southfield, MI, have been drawn from the Museum’s extensive collection of works on paper. Featured themes from the oeuvres of the three masters include: portraits, depictions of famous biblical stories, philosophical topics, and societal commentary, as well as several of the self-portraits for which Rembrandt was renowned.

Featured artists: Rembrandt, Goya and Dürer

Dark Room: The Reflecting Pool: Emergence of the Third Eye Artist Kenneth Salter presents Reflecting Pool, an interactive device that generates mesmerizing, neo-psychedelic, fractal images and sounds that captivate and hypnotize. The device responds to Tai-Chi style movements of the viewer’s hands, immersing the viewer’s senses, mind and body into a holistic experience.

Winter Exhibitions are on view March 30 - May 04, 2024 at Torrance Art Museum.
Opening Reception on Saturday, March 30th from 6-9pm.

TAM is always free and accessible to the public.
