Small Worlds
Small Worlds brings together intricate, charming, disquieting, and thoughtful artwork on the smallest of scales, although some of the resulting works aren’t small at all. Each of the engaging works in this free exhibition creates an intimate space or environment, and shows scenes which are familiar but perhaps slightly askew. Five contemporary artists present more than 40 “small worlds” rendered via relief paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photos.
This online catalogue is laid out like a map that enables exploration of the artists and the works in the exhibition through videos, text, images, and other contextual content.
Storytelling in Miniature
Perhaps to conceal from prying eyes, to demonstrate engraving prowess, to conserve scarce paper and utilize every bit of expensive copper, or to prove a point (even if only to themselves), artists have created very small prints from the technique’s beginnings in the 1400s to the present. Some of the earliest were produced almost by chance.
This catalogue is presented in conjunction with the Toledo Museum of Art exhibition Storytelling in Miniature (October 7, 2011–March 4, 2012). All works of art are from the Museum’s collection.

The Dramatic Image: Baroque Prints of the 17th Century
In the late 1500s and early 1600s, a new style of art developed, characterized by dynamic compositions, direct emotion, high drama, and appeal to the common man. The Baroque is most often associated with painting, sculpture, and architecture, but the art of printmaking thrived during the period, with contributions from some of the greatest printmakers of all time, such as Jacques Callot and Rembrandt.
This, the first online catalogue produced by the Toledo Museum of Art, is presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Dramatic Image: Baroque Prints of the 17th Century (February 25–July 31, 2011). All works of art are from the Museum’s collection.
