Art exhibitions.
Large Drawings from the Arkansas Arts Center Foundation. Through Oct. 22. Georgia Museum of Art. Open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Wednesday; and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. 542-4662.
Bold, confrontational, compelling and diverse, this exhibition of large drawings in pencil, ink, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, acrylic and oil from the collection of the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock challenges the viewer through both media and content. The Arkansas Arts Center has been building a collection of drawings for more than 27 years and enjoys an international reputation in this field. Most of the artists represented were active in the 1970s and 1980s; they include Nancy Grossman, Diane Edison, Dieter Hacker, Robert Stackhouse, Stephen Talasnik and the photo-realist Ira Korman.
From Elizabeth Murray’s abstract compositions of shapes, lines and colors to Irvin Tepper’s Oldenburg-inspired enlarged ordinary objects, the show illustrates numerous 20th-century trends and styles. Tied together by size, chronology and media (in a loose sense), this exhibition expands the definition of “drawing.”

Art for the Afterlife: Chinese Funerary Art of the Han Dynasty. Through Oct. 22. Georgia Museum of Art. Open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Wednesday; and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. 542-4662.
This exhibition, organized by guest curator Kendal Anne Korach, displays ceramic figures originally placed in Chinese tombs to comfort the spirits of the deceased and guide them into the afterlife. This practice evolved from human and animal sacrifice at Neolithic burials into the nonviolent and considerably less expensive manufacture of human and animal figures, made of earthenware and painted with polychrome pigments or covered in green glaze. Called minqi (spirit utensils), they most often represented horsemen, warriors, towers, animals and musicians. This exhibition displays works recently acquired as part of the museum’s expanding mission into the collection and study of Asian art.

Art Exhibition.
Prisms of the Soul. Through Sept. 21. Tate Student Center Gallery, open 8 a.m.-midnight daily. 542-6396.
Laura J. Leiden combines acrylics, fabrics and calligraphy to create these works with multiple visual planes. Her images are drawn from the subconscious and combine painting with her personal exploration of spirituality.
“Multi-layered transparent acrylics speak deeply to me,” says Leiden. “They lend themselves to the mystery of life. I love the layers of luminous colors, the half-hidden messages and images, the richness, obscurity and complexity of the surface.”
