Looking Through the
Glass:
Watercolors, Pastels and Prints of
the White Mountains
|
For the first time
anywhere, this magnificent exhibition of White Mountain
Art will be featured in the Carriage House Gallery from
July 11 to October 19, 2008.
Curator and Art Historian Sam Robbins, though his
contacts and sources, has amassed more than 50
historic paintings, prints and lithographs from the 19th
and 20th centuries for this special exhibition. The
breadth and depth of this impressive display offers a
rich panorama of the splendor of the White Mountains,
through the seasons and decades, as seen through the
eyes of a vast array of talented artists. Some of these
images have seldom, if ever, been on display to the
public, and never to our knowledge has such a
comprehensive collection of White Mountain Art ever been
assembled. We invite you to visit the Carriage
House Gallery during your next visit to Castle in the
Clouds. We thank Sam Robbins for his time and effort in
making this exhibition possible.
