Sea Fever: American Art and The Aquatic Imagination. May 13 - July 22, 2007
This exhibition of seascapes from the Museum’s permanent collection includes works by artists Giuseppe Moretti, Balcomb Greene, and Alfred Thompson Bricher. On loan are works by Edward Henry Potthast and William Trost Richards. Spanning 120 years of artistic fascination with wind and waves, Sea Fever examines the ocean’s awesome power and beauty as captured by American painters, sculptors and poets. Visitors will find themselves enveloped by seascapes and the sounds of the shore. Works of art are paired with passages from authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, Ernest Hemingway, and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
