In 1921 the Copley Society of Art had the pleasure to sponsor the notable exhibition, Watercolors by Winslow Homer, Dodge MacKnight and John Singer Sargent, held at the Boston Art Club. Below are just a few of the works from the exhibit, highlighting the skill of the three great watercolorists that once called Boston their home.
Lynette Shaw has spent her entire career in Boston bringing art to unexpected environments with the goal to unify the human experience. Aerial Museum is Shaw’s newest installation made with this belief in mind, taking art into a contemporary venue that invites the viewer to engage.
Shaw summarizes the thesis of her show, noting that this exhibit was able to “[bring] fine art into an unlikely environment creating a maze of brilliant color that blends organic and industrial materials to start a conversation.”
Recently, Co|So artist member Rose Leitner teamed up with Pauline Curtiss to create a 5-panel work of art inspired by the clients of the non-profit organization, Heading Home. The project was motivated by a branch of the organization called She4She, a panel of women inspiring women to unify, disrupt, and fuel change.
Referring to the weather this week as cold would be an understatement. The frigid polar vortex and snow squalls that swept through Boston chilled us to the bone and left us dreaming of warmer temperatures. However, in the depths of winter, the warmth of the summer sun can feel distant and unimaginable. The artists of Co|So are here to help with their portrayal of East Coast landscapes, full of liveliness and sunshine, to bring you closer to a genuine warm up.
