Description
American landscape paintings from the late 19th and early 20th century can be a catalyst to discuss 21st century concerns such as climate change, the erasure of indigenous histories, and the impacts of land and water use. Join Smithsonian Gardens’ Lauren Brandes and Melinda Whicher in conversation with the National Museum of Asian Art’s (NMAA) Diana Greenwold as they discuss their recent collaboration on the new exhibition Shifting Boundaries: Approaches to American Landscapes now on view at the National Museum of Asian Art. This project is the first of its kind at NMAA, a fully collaborative endeavor that brought together experts in landscape and environment to answer the question, how do we find contemporary resonance in historic American landscape painting?
Speakers: Lauren Brandes, Smithsonian Gardens, Melinda Whicher, Smithsonian Gardens, Diana Greenwold, National Museum of Asian Art
