April 6, 2008 by Susanne Talentino

The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens has two unique exhibits to explore this spring, as well as gardens in full bloom along the St. eva-sky emma watson nude Johns River.  The Cummer presents Ernest Hemingway and Walker Evans: Three Weeks in Cuba, 1933, through June 1.   This exhibition displays 37 vintage photographic prints by Walker Evans and seven prints copied by Evans, that were found among Ernest Hemingway’s possessions after his death, along with notes, and personal artifacts.  This set of Evans prints that Hemingway acquired in 1933 and stored away for years has never been exhibited until recently.

Also on display starting July 23, Scalpel to Sketch: the science and beauty of medical illustration at Mayo Clinic features works from Mayo Clinic’s world-class collection of medical illustration.  This is one of largest collections of its kind in the world and is rarely exhibited to the public.  On display will be medical art rendered in various media such as carbon dust, pen & ink, watercolor, airbrush and digital media. Visitors explore interpretations of the human form, animated voyages inside the human body, studies of the brain to molecules and gene clusters, skeletons, and a rare look at the unique anatomy of conjoined twins.  Call (904) 356-6857 or visit www.cummer.org.
