The Sweetness of Life: Three 18th-Century French Paintings from The Frick Collection
The Museum hosts three remarkable 18th-century French genre paintings from The Frick Collection in New York this summer, part of an ongoing reciprocal exchange program. These artfully constructed visions of contemporary life and fashion, as depicted by François Boucher, Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin and Jean-Baptiste Greuze, provide viewers with an intimate look at the lives of middle-class French women of the 1740s and 1750s.
LEARN MOREAIR LAND SEA: A Lithographic Suite by William Crutchfield
This exhibition presents a rare look at the AIR LAND SEA suite by William Crutchfield, printed at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1970. Demonstrating the artist’s master draftsmanship, keen understanding of engineering and his wry sense of humor, the suite features trains, ships and airplanes all portrayed as overbuilt, fantastical models of modernity.
