The McNay Art Museum will present "Garden Party: Nature on Paper," in which flowers bloom, fruit ripens, and shadows linger beneath the surface. The exhibition explores how humans live with and shape the natural world.
The exhibition, which features prints, drawings, photographs, paintings, and sculpture from the McNay’s permanent collection, includes works by artists including René Magritte, Rufino Tamayo, Kara Walker, Luis Jiménez, and Honoré Daumier.
"Garden Party" unfolds in two distinct yet intertwined narratives. One celebrates what nature offers: lush gardens, flowers and abundance. The other examines what humans take, featuring imagery of hunting and extraction. Together, these perspectives create a layered portrait of nature as both a source of wonder and a site of tension.
The exhibition will remain on display through August 9.
