Geraldine (Gerry) Jane Cook was born on August 10, 1924 in Freedom, Pennsylvania. Her family moved to Canton, Ohio when she was very young. As a child, Gerry was constantly exploring art through drawing and painting. A 1943 graduate of McKinley High School, she honed her natural talent through art and drafting classes throughout high school and aspired to be a professional artist. Gerry attended one year of coursework at the Cleveland Institute of Art, through the financial support of one of her brothers.

Northeast Ohio and Cleveland have produced a remarkable tradition of achievement in the arts over the years.  The Canton Museum of Art concentrates on American Art; we also highlight artists from Northeast Ohio in our galleries.  We were pleased to be a part of the CAN Triennial and to review the fine works that have appeared in Cleveland.  When we saw Amy Casey’s work, we knew that she would be a great fit at our museum. Amy’s work has a unique voice; it is as if a part of Amy has been infused into each piece that she creates.

From the start of the 20th century to today, printmaking has played an integral role in American art and the history of the United States. Unseen: The Process and Art of American Printmaking explores the history of printmaking in America and the varying “unseen” techniques within the medium while showcasing pieces from the CMA collection, many of which have never before been on view in these galleries.

Explore the world of deception and experience the incredible with Illusions from the CMA Collection. In this exhibit, nothing is what it seems.

For centuries, artists have been playing magical tricks on our perception with the art of trompe l'oeil, French for "deceives the eye." Artists use many techniques to create illusions in their work.
