The Subject is Light: The Henry and Sharon Martin Collection of Contemporary Realist Paintings

March 18, 2011 – August 21, 2011

This exhibition presents artworks by some of the most skilled contemporary representational artists working today. Featuring images of New England seascapes – ocean views that transcend geography and appeal to everyone, it also includes some outstanding still lifes. The organizing principle of the exhibition is the opportunity it affords the viewer to study how the best contemporary artists depict the changing effects of light in nature – whether the subject is a seascape or a still life.
