Past Exhibitions


Then & Now: Contemporary Artists Revisit the Past

May 15, 2009 – August 5, 2009

The exhibition juxtaposes the work of contemporary artists with 19th and early 20th century painters that may have influenced, inspired or led them in an opposite direction. Contemporary artists in this exhibition include April Gornik, Stephen Hannock, Stanley Lewis, Jane Lund, Dennis Pinette and Devorah Sperber. The 19th century paintings in Then & Now were created by notable artists such as George Inness, Ralph Blakelock and Thomas Eakins. Museum visitors will have the unique opportunity to compare the subjects, themes, materials, and painting techniques found in works by American artists of today to earlier masters of landscape and portrait painting.
​
Exhibition funded, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency.
