SUMMARY:Desire and Abundance: American Culture and the Still Life
LOCATION:Memorial Art Gallery Forman Gallery\, 500 University Avenue\, Roc
 hester\, NY 14607
DESCRIPTION:American values take shape in the objects we make\, desire\, c
 herish\, and discard. A table laden with ripe fruit\, a meal served up at
  a luncheonette\, the inside of a medicine cabinet—ordinary materials aro
 und us chronicle our lives. The still life\, a genre of art that dates ba
 ck to the ancient world\, captures those objects of everyday life while o
 ften conveying deeper meanings and hidden messages.\n\nAs we celebrate th
 e 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, D
 esire and Abundance features a selection from MAG’s collection of America
 n still lifes\, spanning from the 1800s to the present. Taken together\, 
 these artworks present an array of items that underscore shifting tastes 
 in American art\, commerce\, and daily life.\n\nImage: John Francis\, Sti
