Fall Exhibitions – Free Member Preview

The Delaware Art Museum invites you to celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions. Drawn primarily from the rich collections of The New York Historical, Transcendent: Landscapes of the Hudson River School explores nationally beloved paintings through the lens of Transcendentalism, a 19thcentury movement that emphasized the spiritual connection between humans and the natural world. Lisa Bradley: Beyond Luminosity features the artist’s recent luminous explorations, paintings of infinitely deep darks and light-filled abstract canvases. Pyle and the Pre-Raphaelites reveals new research on the longstanding friendship between American illustrator Howard Pyle and Pre-Raphaelite art collector Samuel Bancroft and examines how Pyle incorporated the art of the Pre-Raphaelites into his own work.

This evening of art and community connection is free for DelArt Members. Advance registration is required.
