The Landscape, Reimagined
​
The Landscape, Reimagined - a group exhibition including five local artists who are presenting an array of landscape interpretation, from traditional to radical and contemporary.
The landscape is among the most familiar but resonant subject matter. In the Hudson Valley, we are familiar with the Hudson River School, an art movement by a group of landscape painters whose aesthetic vision was influenced by Romanticism. We may not see the Hudson Valley exactly as they did, but landscapes surround us every day: whether in our domestic arrangements, our urban lives, or just what we see out the window. Landscapes are reminders of our deep history with and connections to nature, to places we have lived or imagine inhabiting - a landscape in which we the viewer can insert yearnings, memories, dreams. Artists have continued to return to and reimagine the landscape: some find resonance in natural, realistic interpretations; others reinterpret the genre with styles that push the limits.
The artists present in the exhibition will show artworks ranging from realistic portrayal of nature to more abstract interpretations.
Participating artists: Maxine Davidowitz, Virginia Donovan, Martha Hill, William Noonan, Julia VanDevelder

What is a Portrait?
​
A portrait tells a story. Portraits can show us what a person looks like, or how the artist sees them, but they can also capture an idea of a person or what they stand for. Portraits can also reveal how a person wants to be seen, and capture a particular attitude or mood that the sitter wishes to convey.
A portrait can do many things. It can give a sense of importance to a person and their life; it can make a person more widely known; it can also give immortality to a person’s character: portraits live on forever!
