Chimneys and Towers: Charles Demuth's Late Paintings of Lancaster
 |
| This exhibition examines the group of paintings which Charles Demuth produced between 1927 and his death in 1935, a last major series of paintings based on the architecture of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the town in which he was raised and lived intermittently throughout his life, beginning with My Egypt, the precisionist depiction of a Lancaster grain elevator that is perhaps Demuth's best known and most powerful late work. Through analyzing the specifics of place, subject, and style, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue explore the complex dynamics of Demuth's world at the end of his career. In addition to six major paintings, the exhibition will include preparatory drawings, watercolors, and photographs of Lancaster's industrial architecture. |
