On view September 11 through November 14, Nocturnes, solo presentation by Whitney Bedford will feature a suite of paintings and drawings from Bedford’s Veduta series. Bedford’s Veduta paintings offer a contemporary intervention of an art-historically significant genre of landscape painting popular from the 16th to 18th centuries, often capturing imagery of healthy and pristine vistas untouched by development, pollution and other man-made blight. Bedford’s new series of veduta paintings employ master works by artists such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Milton Avery, Camille Pissarro and Frederic Edwin Church as underpaintings, revisiting moonlit landscapes and seascapes that embrace the essence of the sublime.
