Addison Gallery Tour: Playing to Our Strengths

with curator Gordon Wilkins

Join curator Gordon Wilkins for a tour of the exhibition Playing to Our Strengths: Highlights from the Permanent Collection on display Feb. 1 through Jul. 31.

This installation is the first in a series of exhibitions that will explore particular strengths of the Addison’s renowned art collection.

This presentation explores American art in three sections: masterworks by Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer, whose works captured the aspirations and apprehensions of a nation coming into its own; American modernist paintings that convey the ingenuity of artists working amidst the tumult of the interwar years; and color field painters, who deemphasized gesture and active brushstrokes to distill the vocabulary of painting to its very essence.

Please note that this event takes place at the Addison Gallery of American Art on the campus of Phillips Academy.

Space is limited and registration is required. Please cancel your registration if you are no longer able to attend.
