Our enormous new exhibition celebrating beloved artist Charley Harper opens to the public tomorrow, October 16, 2026! Here's a quick sneak peek - learn more and grab tickets to see it for yourself at cincy.art/harper! The Art of Charley Harper: Creatures Wild & Tame is organized by the Cincinnati Art Museum in partnership with @charleyharperart and presented by @proctergamble.

In late 18th century Bath, England, there were three things on everyone’s mind: The French and Indian War, the coronation of King George III, and Ann Ford. Meanwhile, young artist and family man Thomas Gainsborough was looking to stand out and attract clients. What better way to do so than creating a larger-than-life portrait of the rebellious musician no one can stop talking about? Make no mistake: Ann Ford (later, Mrs. Phillip Thicknesse), was that girl. At a time when women were only supposed to perform music for family and friends, Ford knew she was meant for the stage. Twice, she booked performances at concert halls only for her father to stop her — with the help of police. The third time, though, she got away with it, earning great reviews and significant notoriety. This is a significant portrait to match. A whopping six-feet-by-four-feet, this work immediately catches the eye. Gainsborough depicted Ford taking up nearly the entire canvas and casually glancing off to the side, making it feel like we are just the latest in a long series of gossips and admirers here to bask. Want to learn more? We have two CAM Look videos on this eye-catching work: You can find the links in our bio! . . . . Thomas Gainsborough (British, 1727-1788), Ann Ford (later Mrs. Philip Thicknesse), 1760, oil on canvas, Bquest of Mary M. Emery, 1927.396 #art #arthistory #bridgerton
