Indianapolis Museum of Art

Indianapolis, Indiana



The Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana features one Norman Rockwell in its collection...
(continued)



The sole Norman Rockwell painting in the Museum's collection is The Love Song. The Love Song originally debuted in the Ladies Home Journal December 1926 issue on page 15.

The Love Song shows two musicians playing their instruments, one flute and one clarinet. A young girl leans against the wall, enjoying a reverie and taking a break from cleaning and sweeping. The Love Song could refer to the musicians' love of their music or whoever the girl is daydreaming about.

The painting, a 38 3/8 inch x 42 7/8 inch oil on canvas, was given to the Museum by Anne G. Blackman and Sidney W. Blackman in memory of Freeman E. Hertzel.

This Museum contains more than just one fantastic painting, though. The Museum has a collection of over 50,000 works of art.

Included in the American art division, in addition to Rockwell, are works by Alfred Thompson Bricher, Winslow Homer, Isabel Bishop, Richard Emile Miller and Edward Hopper.

In other parts of the Museum, you will find extensive displays from other divisions including African art, Asian art, contemporary art, European art and South Pacific art.

Also intriguing is the Museum's extensive collection of prints, drawings and photographs.

Less interesting to me personally were the exhibits with decorative arts and textile and fashion arts. but there is something here for any taste.

All in all, this is a museum worth visiting.
