Local Color, drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, explores the primacy of color in a range of works, from Alexander Calder’s whimsical mobiles to Elmer Bischoff’s luscious, light-filled canvases to David Levinthal’s slick, color-saturated photographs of Barbie dolls. Also featured are works by artists who consider the quiet, meditative nuances of black and white. This exhibition encourages viewers to look at color as content. How does color play into your intuitive experience of a work of art? What are some of the ways artists use color as the subject of their work?
