FinListics Solutions to Sponsor Major Exhibition Exploring the Work of "Cecilia Beaux, American Figure Painter" at Atlanta High Museum

Atlanta (May 1, 2007) FinListics Solutions is proud to sponsor the Women in Arts Series at the Atlanta High Museum of Art.  The Museum of Art will organize and present the first critical examination of the work of internationally acclaimed figure painter Cecilia Beaux (1855–1942) in more than 30 years. “Cecilia Beaux, American Figure Painter” will illuminate Beaux’s work by exploring issues of gender, class and the importance of place in relation to Beaux’s identity and reputation as the leading female artist working in the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century. 

The exhibition features approximately 85 works, including oils, works on paper and decorative objects, and will be on view in Atlanta from May 12 through September 9, 2007, before traveling to the Tacoma Art Museum and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts

Christine Timme, CEO of FinListics commented, “We are proud to sponsor this exhibit, which celebrates bold women whose talent, creativity and hard work laid the groundwork for growing recognition and respect for women artists.”

About the High Museum of Art

The High Museum of Art, founded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, is the leading art museum in the southeastern United States. With more than 11,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum of Art has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American art; significant holdings of European paintings and decorative art; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists and is distinguished as the only major museum in North America to have a curatorial department specifically devoted to the field of folk and self-taught art. The High’s Media Arts department produces acclaimed annual film series and festivals of foreign, independent and classic cinema. In November 2005, the High opened three new buildings by architect Renzo Piano that more than doubled the Museum’s size, creating a vibrant “village for the arts” at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta.
