In Georges Braque’s “Aegle,” the artist juxtaposes smooth and busy surfaces and raised lines with incised ones to create and differentiate planes in bronze.

Now on view in “Georges Braque: Tactile Space,” the sculpture is deliberately confounding, evoking a head in profile (defined by an almond-shaped eye, pointed nose, pursed lips, and protruding chin), a pitcher (its handle and base emerging from the bust’s ear and neck), and a bird (the incised circle at the top of the sculpture can be read as a bird’s eye in relation to the beak-like protrusion at the upper right). As Braque explained, this “metaphoric confusion” was “fundamental to the poetry” of his art.

From painterly abstraction to Pop art, “Selections from the Permanent Collection” charts bold shifts in postwar American art at the Bruce Museum.

Among the highlights is Andy Warhol’s “Flowers (Hand Colored)” (1974), a portfolio that pairs his signature silkscreen technique with hand-applied watercolor, collapsing the divide between mechanical reproduction and the artist’s touch. Works on paper by Sam Gilliam, Jasper Johns, and Robert Motherwell similarly blur boundaries, layering drawn, found, and printed elements to evoke and reimagine collage. Together, these works reveal a period defined by experimentation, material play, and a rethinking of what a painting could be.

Now on view at the Bruce Museum, Gisela Colón's sculptures blur the boundary between art, science, and nature. Colón works with engineered materials such as plastics, carbon fiber, and resins, developed with aerospace and scientific partners, to create these striking sculptures. By layering and laminating materials together, Colón creates sculptures that harness light, movement, and energy, inspired by her formative years in Puerto Rico.

Experience “Gisela Colon: Radiant Earth,” on view at the Bruce through June 28. Plan your visit: https://brnw.ch/21x2DEK
