Landmarked: Selected Landscapes from the Permanent Collection exhibition

Landmarked: Selected Landscapes from the Permanent Collection is now on view at the Picker Art Gallery from September 21–December 17, 2017. Featuring paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs from the Picker Art Gallery’s permanent collection, this exhibition examines how artists—from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries—have depicted natural and built environments and how, in turn, their perceptions of landscape were structured by the philosophical, social, political, and economic contexts within which they operated. Addressing themes that resonate with current debates about environment, land use, and identity, the artworks on view reveal many of the complex ways in which people and land influence each other, as well as how these relationships continuously shift and change.
