When your favorite paintings are not on view at the Frye Art Museum, museumgoers elsewhere may be enjoying them. For example, visitors to the recent exhibition Gabriel von Max: Painter, Darwinist, Spiritist at Munich’s Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau saw three paintings loaned from the Frye: The Christian Martyr, 1867, which was featured prominently since it made Max famous while he was still a student at the Munich Academy; Seifenblasen (Soap Bubbles), 1881; and Botaniker (The Botanists), after 1900. These beloved paintings will be back on view at the Frye in the upcoming exhibition Gabriel von Max: Be-tailed Cousins and Phantasms of the Soul. Zhi Lin’s Five Capital Executions in China: Drawing and Quartering, 2007, was recently loaned to Kirkland Art Center, and two watercolors by Jamie Wyeth, Below the Barn, 1965, and House of Pig, 1978, are on view this summer at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, PA.
