Cathy Morris
After a decade of focusing on all-original music, electric violinist Cathy Morris has begun her own interpretations of contemporary jazz songs spiced with Latin rhythms, some funk grooves, Cajun fun, and even a little romance. With her unique approach and a talented array of musicians, Cathy Morris will provide the audience with an unforgettable evening.

New in the Galleries
Harmony and Rhythm: Works by Felrath Hines
Continuing through December 19, 2010
Gallery of the Art of the Western World, first floor

Felrath Hines (American, 1913-1993). Elevation, 1986. Oil on linen. Gift of the wife of the artist.

Featuring three paintings and three works on paper by abstract artist and Indiana native Felrath Hines (1918-1993), these recent acquisitions were gifts from the wife of the artist, Dorothy Fisher, in 2009. This installation is presented in conjunction with the museum's summer Jazz in July concert series.

Hines's paintings rely upon a universal language of geometric form and harmonic color. Yet their rhythmic musical quality is suggestive of the cadences of jazz, one of the great African American contributions to American culture, and one that defined the Indianapolis of Hines's childhood, when numerous jazz clubs sprang up in the city. Hines also may have been inspired by the jazz and classical music he often listened to while painting.

The Gallery of Art of the Western World will be open for special evening hours (5:00-8:30 p.m.) on Jazz in July Fridays so concert-goers can check out the Felrath Hines installation.
