Picturing Springtime
What comes to mind when you think of springtime? It is a season of promise, of new growth and potential, but also a season of transition鈥攕ometimes stormy and chaotic. Picturing Springtime looks at the ways that artists have depicted subjects that remind us both of the beauty of spring, as well as the dramatic, and destructive, turn the season can take.
Artists exploit the riot of intense color鈥攇reens, reds, and yellows鈥攚hen trees bloom and new growth emerges. They enjoy depicting the excitement of a new season, as the world awakens from winter鈥檚 slumber. Along with that, however, there comes the unexpected in the form of thunderstorms and tornadoes that also express the unsettled and unpredictable nature of even the most benign seasons.
