SUMMARY:The Art of Charles Porteus
DESCRIPTION:Charles Porteus (1867-1943) was most recognized for his diligent work as a talented wax figure modeler and scene painter for true-to-life historical group displays at the Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM) from 1919 to 1940. However\, it is in his fluid\, loosely brushed renderings with oil and tempera paint that his true artistry can become fully realized. Featured in this exhibition are a series of paintings depicting idyllic local landscapes and urban Milwaukee scenes alongside portraits of Native Americans he met during his travels and scenes inspired by museum dioramas. \nThis exhibition is made possible by the generosity of Porteus’ descendants and his granddaughter-in-law Bonnie Porteus’ devotion to the establishment of his legacy as a true artist. \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 26\, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.\nMuseum Hours: Thursday to Saturday 10am to 4pm; Sunday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. \n
