Exhibition Title
STILL LIFE Then and Now
Exhibition Description
This eclectic exhibition presents a wide variety of approaches to still life on paper from the 18th century through the present. The earliest carry us into the private world of the 19th century French painter’s studio, where harmonious compositions of flowers, berries and insects reveal a reverential observation of nature. The 18th and 19th century artists include J.J. Prin, Jean-Guillaume Moitte, Barbara Regina Dietzsch and Ludovic-Napoleon Lepic, among several anonymous artists who mastered their techniques and vision of everyday objects and food.
The 20th century artists include paintings and drawings by Duncan Grant, Marsden Hartley, and Louis Brocard, as well as photographs by the gardener Charles Jones and the Czech photographers Josef Sudek and Jaromír Funke. The contemporary artists on view include Bruce Kurland’s surreal paintings, Han Feng’s nocturnal set-ups, Antonia Munroe’s Indian-inspired gouache paintings, and Sachiko Morita’s delicate vegetal and floral black and white photographs. The contemporary artists approach the steeped tradition of still life with a fresh, unique lens.
