Entangled in the lines: Figuring Moby-Dick
This exhibition will display selections from the NBWM鈥檚 collection of artwork related to Herman Melville and Moby-Dick, especially drawing on the Elizabeth Schultz and Melville Society Cultural Project Collection. The artworks in this exhibition exemplify how Herman Melville鈥檚 text is expansive鈥攊t is always left up to interpretation. Artists use loose lines, striking colors, and unexpected forms to express various experiences of the novel and create portraits of its individual characters. Together, the prints and drawings impress a sense of the 鈥渂oggy, soggy, squitchy picture鈥� that Melville鈥檚 prose provides.
