Flora & Fauna: Drawings from The Columbus Museum

Flora & Fauna: Drawings from The Columbus Museum showcases the Museum’s outstanding collection of American drawings and assembles an engaging group of images depicting a variety of animals and plants. From ancient eras to modern times, nature has continually inspired artists and makers to create pictures and has served as a source of essential nutrients, brute power, welcome companionship, and spiritual wonderment. Ranging from scientific illustration to avant-garde treatments of subjects, Flora & Fauna captures the gamut of human interactions with the natural world. The project highlights a wide variety of markmaking media, including graphite, colored pencil, charcoal, ink, and watercolor, and provides an opportunity to see works on paper not often viewed due to light sensitivity.
