Clark Art: Art and Atmosphere in the Nineteenth Century
February 12, 2023 | 10:00 am - 5:00 pm on Sundays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays
Over the course of the nineteenth century, scientists, artists, and society at large developed a deeper understanding of air. Earlier, natural philosophers had demonstrated that the ambient atmosphere was not an “airy nothing” but an entity of substance, with distinct properties and capacities. This material conception of air and atmosphere continued to evolve in the nineteenth century as meteorologists turned their attention skyward. On the Horizon: Art and Atmosphere in the Nineteenth Century examines how artists and image makers incorporated new scientific and technological understandings of the atmosphere into their works and creative practices. The exhibition is on view in the Eugene V. Thaw Gallery of the Clark’s Manton Research Center November 19, 2022 through February 12, 2023.
