This exhibition features work in the series Varie Figure, or Various Figures (1621-1628) by the pre-eminent French printmaker Jacques Callot. The series contains sixteen works pulled from the Museum's permanent collection. Most works feature double images of the same figure. It has been suggested that this series served as a drawing book or model for learning rapid, freehand drawing.
This exhibit explores three of the commonly used elements of art - shape, form, and color - through representative examples pulled from the Museum's extensive collection of American watermedia.
In June 2016, Artist Anne Lindberg was commissioned to create a site-specific installation in the King Gallery. The work, "tilted sky," is composed of Egyptian cotton thread and staples. The work will remain on long-term view as part of the Museum's collection.
