Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471 – 1528) was an extraordinary innovator who revolutionized the medium of printmaking in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century and single-handedly elevated it to an independent art form. This exhibit features more than thirty woodblock prints and engravings from the Reading Public Museum’s permanent collection of works on paper.

Organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania.

Kintsugi, the Japanese art of golden joinery, is a five-hundred-year-old method of mending damaged ceramics with Urushi natural lacquer dusted with powdered gold, seen as enhancing beauty while celebrating imperfection and impermanence. Naoko Fukumaru, an artist from Vancouver, Canada, presents traditional and contemporary Kintsugi. By beautifully magnifying imperfections in objects, Fukumaru leads us to accept fragility and imperfection in ourselves and in life.

In 2018, French painter Laurence Saunois visited the water lily garden of the master of Impressionism, Claude Monet, at Giverny. She was overcome by its beauty and came away imbued with a passion that has gripped her ever since: To paint the brightness of colors and the incredible play of the light that inspired Monet there so many years ago. The result is her monumental project, Nympheus Luminansis, a series of ten large-scale paintings depicting the water lilies of Giverny. Though painted in a realistic style, very different from Monet, these works pay homage to the master by allowing the viewer to be immersed in the beauty of the natural world that inspired him.
