Abstract:
A preview for the Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism exhibit details why landscapes were so popular with impressionist painters during the 19th and 20th centuries. As people began to move to major cities with industrialization, people often found themselves cut off from nature and traditional ways of life. As a result, these paintings provided a comfort, some solace, and a moment’s fantasy for viewers where they could imagine such beautiful, peaceful places. Several paintings are pictured as examples and the scope of the exhibition is previewed.

Abstract:
Patrick Dougherty makes sculpture out of saplings by weaving the wood of sprawling circular forms, which support themselves and then grow outward. His art is site-specific, meaning that he builds his sculpture with a particular space in mind, and the space itself helps determine what the resulting sculpture will look like. His latest exhibit, Shelters of Transition, is on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.
