AUGUSTA, GA—The Morris Museum of Art’s exhibition Notes on the 19th, 20th, and 21st Centuries: Paintings by Jeffrey Kronsnoble, which opens to the public on Saturday, June 7, and remains on view through Sunday, August 10, was featured in the international online art newspaper, ArtDaily, Tuesday, May 13, 2008.
“The coverage of the Kronsnoble exhibition in ArtDaily is an indication of the importance of these paintings,” commented Jay William, curator of the exhibition and curator at the Morris Museum of Art.
Notes on the 19th, 20th, and 21st Centuries: Paintings by Jeffrey Kronsnoble, includes more than forty works of art, dating from the late 1960s to the present, by renowned painter and teacher Jeffrey Kronsnoble. From landscapes to meticulously rendered figure paintings, Kronsnoble’s work is characterized by fluent draftsmanship and a deep appreciation of art history. His paintings often incorporate portions of historically important works of art while reflecting the influence of photography and the most modern of 20th century art forms, collage.
Jeffrey Kronsnoble’s work has been featured in one-man shows in galleries in New York, Milwaukee, New Orleans, La Jolla, and Florida, as well as in group shows at the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C., The National Academy of Design in New York City, and The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. His work is represented in the permanent collections of art museums in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Jacksonville, Florida and New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as in more than 175 public, corporate, and private collections. Kronsnoble has been awarded the William A. Paton and Thomas B. Clarke prizes by The National Academy of Design in New York, and three Individual Artist Grants from the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs. A twenty-five-year retrospective exhibition of his work was presented in 1990 at the Polk Museum of Art, Lakeland, Florida, and traveled to museums in Melbourne, Hollywood, and Ft. Myers, Florida.
