Details
Artists and their publics have been fascinated with depictions of large bodies of water for centuries. Contemporary artists have shown their own distinct interest in these ocean environments, from purely formal explorations, to romantic suggestions, to impatiently expressed concerns for the natural environment. This small survey of watery imagery draws upon the growing collections of prints and photographs stewarded by University Galleries and features memorable examples of recent practices by Sandra Cinto, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Christiane Baumgartner, Emma Stibbon, and Bas Jan Ader. Their immersive representations will be presented during the first half of the fall semester in conjunction with the Humanities Center’s thematic investigation of oceans and the human landscape.
