"It's been a really challenging year," said Liz Wolverton, the head of consumer banking at Synovus Financial, who ticked off pressing obstacles that include high interest rates and rival financial institutions with more resources to invest in technology.

The powerful portraits of Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) are in a category of their own. Key elements characterize the late artist's paintings, including his masterful use of color. "Miss Brown To You" (1970) by Hendricks, pictures his subject wearing a red top against a red background. When he employed his stylized approach, Hendricks described the portraits as "limited palette" paintings.

This Fall, The Columbus Museum will welcome a loan of seven pieces from the Museum of Modern Art. The loan has been orchestrated through The Columbus Museum's participation in a national program through The Art Bridges Foundation.
