As a constant and significant subject, the human figure has been variously represented across time and space. Figure and Form includes not only depictions of the human body via traditional portraits or symbolic figures, but also adornment such as garments, necklaces, bracelets and earrings that theoretically frame the figure in space.  Over 110 works will be on display including portrait paintings by Thomas Satterwhite Noble (1835-1907) and Allan Ramsay (1713-1784), bronze and ivory Art Deco sculpture by Demetre Chiparus (1886-1947), Pre-Columbian figures, a selection of African and Native American jewelry from the 20th century and an oversize neckpiece by contemporary metalsmith Jesse Mathes.
