Hidden Treasures Unveiled: Watercolors
Hidden Treasures Unveiled: Watercolors is the inaugural exhibition in PAFA鈥檚 new Richard C. von Hess Foundation Works on Paper Gallery. The exhibition presents a group of watercolors from the 18th through the 21st century, drawn from the Museum鈥檚 extensive collection of works on paper that have remained little-known to the public.
The exhibition includes virtuoso examples of the genre and dazzling celebratory color. Among the highlights are Benjamin West鈥檚 Portrait of Prince Octavius (1783), William Trost Richards鈥� Seascape with Foreground Rocks (1874), and Winslow Homer鈥檚 North Road, Bermuda (1900), as well as Stuart Davis鈥� Sand Cove (c. 1931), Robert Motherwell鈥檚 Lyric Suite (1965), Gladys Nilsson鈥檚 鈥淚 Don鈥檛 Remember What the Name Is鈥� Duckbird Blues? (1968), and a selection of works by Richard Tuttle.
By making the exhibition鈥檚 focus watercolor and other water-based mediums, PAFA is able to present superb examples of one aspect of the collection, and show the wide range of approaches that artists took towards the medium.
