Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Time:
All Day Event
Note: Event is active 08-22-2010 through 10-17-2010.
Location: The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
The artist-travelers highlighted in this installation explored the world from Cripple Creek, Colorado, and the rocky coast of Maine to a private Caribbean island and the desert near Jerusalem. Their etchings, engravings, watercolors, pastels, ink sketches, and charcoal and graphite drawings reflect an array of styles and artistic concerns. Some mementos are rendered with exacting realism. Others offer an interpretation based on the spirit of a place and the essence of its color, light and atmosphere. In certain instances, the souvenirs showcased here not only recorded an artist's reaction to a given locale, but also aided the development of a painting or documented a finished work.
