Tamayo: The New York Years features over forty of the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo’s (1899-1991) paintings and prints, as well as reproductions of murals by the artist and his key influences. The introductory wall text informs us that unlike some of his well known mural artist peers, Tamayo was more concerned with the creative process than with overtly politicized themes.

Once Upon a Time…The Western at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art is absolutely cinematic in its layout, design, and overall effect. This is appropriate for a multimedia exhibition aiming to present an entire genre of painting, photography, and film, tracing its inception in early-mid nineteenth century landscape painting all the way to its contemporary iterations in music and film, as well as even more recent responses to the genre by First Nations artists in both the United States and Canada.

Opening this month at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) is Pieceable Kingdom, an exhibition of multi-media paintings by Camille Hoffman. An emerging artist based in New York, Hoffman explores the theme of Manifest Destiny in the collaged landscapes in this exhibition.

The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2017 exhibit showcases the artists shortlisted for this prestigious prize–Sophie Calle, Awoiska van der Molen, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs, who work as a pair–and this year’s winner, Dana Lixenberg.
