Through March 4, 2018
Cape Ann Museum, 27 Pleasant Street, Gloucester, MA
Drawn from Nature is the first comprehensive exhibition focusing on artist Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865) as a printmaker. Long recognized as one of America’s most important marine painters, his success as a printmaker is not widely known. The exhibition will explore the intersection of his work in oil and in print and his success at creating illustrations for books, advertising, stationary, and sheet music. Thought to have created approximately 65 lithographs, it was a medium in which he worked throughout his career, from his apprenticeship to the end of his life when his lithographs mirrored his work in oils. The exhibition, exhibition catalogue, and related programming are organized in connection with Fitz Henry Lane Online, a catalogue raisonné and resource tool created by the museum.
