Instagram post 17903738668543699 Happy first day of autumn! 🍁🍂⁠ .⁠ While #SoCal fall doesn't exactly look like this, we are hoping to peek some oranges, yellows, and reds of changing leaves this season.⁠ .⁠ Théodore Rousseau was born in Paris in 1812. In 1848, he began living in the village of Barbizon near the Forest of Fontainebleau, which became the subject of many of this works, including this piece in the Fisher's #permanentcollection.⁠ .⁠ 🎨: Théodore Rousseau, "The Lake in the Forest," 1850, 11 4/5 x 20 1/8 in., oil on panel, Gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes Fisher.⁠ .⁠ #uscfishermuseum #firstdayoffall #autumnalequinox #landscape #ThéodoreRousseau #Barbizon #museumfromhome

Instagram post 18109390441164071 Today is the first day of #LatinxHeritageMonth, a month-long celebration of the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latinx Americans and heritage rooted in all Latin American countries. . This artwork, though not part of the Fisher's permanent collection, is part of the USC campus. Judy Baca is a Los Angeles-based Chicana artist well known for her mural work. This 10 ft by 30 ft mural is entitled "La Memoria de Nuestra Tierra." Originally installed in the Student Center in 1996, the work was reinstalled and rededicated in 2010 in the Ronald Tutor Campus Center. . The mural depicts a landscape taken from a photograph of the northern part of Los Angeles, with a river which changes to a freeway, which changes back to a river. The central image of the mural is a kiva (a ceremonial structure) and the earth goddess, painted in three poses: asleep, awakening, and militant. Included among the figures are several USC students who were involved in the creation of the mural, as well as David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera. . The work tells the Chicano history of Southern California inspired by the Native history of the land and the more modern conflicts and issues Latinos have suffered. .

Instagram post 17941897507380205 In Memoriam:⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ It is with a heavy heart that we relay the news of the passing of our dear friend and donor, Dr. Eugene Rogolsky (seen here seated). He was 91.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Gene lived a beautiful and full life. He was a pioneering AIDS doctor, a thoughtful art patron and collector, and a generous donor to Fisher Museum. His fantastic gift of more than 700 works in 2015 elevated our permanent collection with paintings, prints, and photography by ​local and international, LGBTQ, ​and Latinx artists. He is survived by his husband Joe ​Boutell.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ He will be missed. ❤️​⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Instagram post 17887412491715944 In Oldřich Kulhánek’s "The Little Window," a piece of parchment is made to appear as if it is torn away to reveal the eyes and mouth of a figure staring intensely at the viewer. 👁️👁️ ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ This piece is strongly infused with a tone of defiance. When considering the historical context of this work, in which Czechoslovakia was controlled by a strict communist regime that strived to censor and isolate its population from the world beyond the Iron Curtain, the symbolic imagery of the piece makes a bold statement. It claims that despite attempts to repress and censor, there will always be a way to resist and break through.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Oldřich Kulhánek, "Little Window," 1987, Offset lithograph, 26 ⅝ x 19 ¼ in., Dr. Eugene Rogolsky Collection, © Estate of Oldřich Kulhánek.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #uscfishermuseum #lithograph #Kulhánek #Czech #censorship #resistance #museumfromhome #fisherfromhome #permanentcollection
