Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art

Comment on Facebook

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art was opened to the public in December 1982. Designed by Edward Larabee Barnes, the 23,000 square foot, four-level building shares an open sculpture plaza with the university's art, music, landscape architecture and theater departments. Specially designated exhibition spaces - the Marie Eccles Caine Gallery, the Nora Eccles Harrison Ceramics Gallery, and the Boyden Collection of Native American materials in the Chase Fine Arts Center - present continuing exhibitions of artworks from the permanent collection. The museum's collection of more than 4,300 objects is one of the largest in the Intermountain region and represents a century of collecting by Utah State University. Works in all media by modern and contemporary artists provide an extensive overview of creative endeavors from 1900 to the present day, with an emphasis on objects made by artists living or working in the western half of the United States.

      Bang! Thwack! Plop! Comics: An Influence on Contemporary Art Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art Bang! Thwack! Plop! Comics: An Influence on Contemporary Art Presented by Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art June 14-August 31, 2012 This exhibition explores how comic books have influenced visual art either by appropriation or as a style. Through selections from the museum's permanent collection, the exhibition will look at how artists have used what seems to be a humorous image to address deeper political or social issues reflected in the art. The influence of cartoons in art encompasses the topics of storytelling, herosim, high art vs. low art, time and narrative relationships, and the use of space in a grid format.
