Ida Kohlmeyer continues to be an important part of NOMA’s history and art history in New Orleans; to honor her 100th anniversary, NOMA is presenting an exhibition of key pieces based on the permanent collection holdings.

Jacqueline Bishop’s paintings, installations, and works on paper probe the complex relationship between ecologically fragile systems and humans. Similar in tenor to the poet and philosopher Ponge’s close examination of “things” her works are intimate observations of the world around us with strong political and social dimensions. Bishop’s depictions of nature and close analysis of flora and fauna recall 16th and 17th century Dutch and Flemish still life paintings with surrealistic and often exotic overtones.
Polidori has made a career out of photographing rooms that condense within four walls layers of memory, past and present.
Deborah Luster’s documentary photographs impart the community, culture and landscape of the South. Working with medium format cameras, she presents the rituals of daily life, the life forces in objects and the inner spirits of her subjects. As poet C.D. Wright describes, “She offers no theory, adheres to none; none stick back. She studies compulsively and applies in the particular, what works then and there.”
The Arthur Roger Gallery is pleased to present Against the Tide, an exhibition of paintings and mixed media by Jacqueline Bishop. The exhibition will be on view at Arthur Roger Gallery, located at 432 Julia Street, from November 3 through December 22, 2012. The gallery will host an opening reception with the artist in attendance, Saturday, November 3 from 6–8 pm.
