Join us in the Modern Art Gallery for a presentation on Martin Johnson Heade’s Gems of Brazil (ca. 1863–1864), led by Professor Robert Wiedenmann of the University of Arkansas. We’ll get an ecologist’s unique perspective on these stunning naturalist paintings and examine the collection in a new, fascinating light.
