This weekend is your final chance to see "Minna Citron: Color and Shape" here at The Rockwell Museum. Abstract Expressionism, which reached its zenith in the 1950s, focused on color and line spread across the entire picture plane to create works of art that should be experienced rather than simply seen. While Minna Citron imbued her work with deep personal meaning, she also felt that her works were only complete when viewers added their own thoughts and feelings. As we explore color at The Rockwell Museum this year, Citron's body of work pushes us to think about how color draws you to an image or helps you interpret a work of art.

About us
More than a museum – The Rockwell is a unique community center where people enjoy, connect, and reflect on the essence of the American experience, character and values through the eyes of American artists. The Rockwell Museum is the only Smithsonian Affiliate in Upstate New York. Housed in the beautifully restored 19th- century Historic Old City Hall in Corning, New York, The Rockwell lays at the heart of the greater Finger Lakes fine arts community. The Rockwell Museum tells the story of the American experience through fine art. Housed within the Old City Hall building of Corning, this diverse collection includes a mix of nineteenth-century American paintings, historic bronzes, and Indian artifacts as well as twentieth-century modernists, illustration art, and contemporary photography. Featured galleries represent the works of Andy Warhol, the Taos Society of Artists, and masterworks of Remington and Russell.

At The Rockwell Museum, we believe art has the power to ignite conversations, provoke emotions, and inspire new ways of seeing the world. This year, we’re thrilled to announce our annual theme: Color!—a celebration of the hues, shades, and tones that shape our lives and creative expressions. From bold strokes of pigment on canvas to the subtle interplay of light and shadow, color is a universal language that connects us all. Read all about the vibrant exhibitions and programs coming up at The Rockwell in 2025.
