Snow Day: Jennifer Bartlett • Wilson A. Bentley • Charles Burchfield • Jack Bush • Lois Dodd • Jane Freilicher • Hector Leonardi • Aubrey Levinthal • Kathryn Lynch • Fairfield Porter

From January 15 through February 27, The Drawing Room is pleased to present SNOW DAY, a group exhibition organized in association with Eric Brown Art Group. The works that were on view ranged from Wilson A. Bentley’s rare photomicrographs of snow crystals to 20th and 21st century snowscapes by Jennifer Bartlett, Charles Burchfield, Jack Bush, Lois Dodd, Jane Freilicher, Hector Leonardi, Aubrey Levinthal, Kathryn Lynch and Fairfield Porter.

On January 15, 1885, the amateur meteorologist Wilson A. Bentley discovered a technique to capture the unique crystalline structure of individual snowflakes. Mesmerized by snowfall since childhood, he later reflected on this groundbreaking moment: “It was the best day of my life.” Nearly 150 years later, the physical presence and fleeting effects of snowfall continue to inspire contemplation. This exhibition juxtaposed photographs, paintings and works on paper by ten artists who harnessed the evanescence and calm induced by a landscape blanketed in white.
