Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature
February 24–May 21, 2023
,
Joseph Stella (American, born Italy, 1877–1946), Purissima, 1927, oil on canvas, purchase with funds from Harriet and Elliott Goldstein and High Museum of Art Enhancement Fund, 2000.206.
Co-organized by the High and the Brandywine River Museum of Art, this is the first major museum exhibition to exclusively examine the nature-based works of pioneering American modernist Joseph Stella (1877–1946). Though Stella is primarily recognized for his dynamic Futurist-inspired paintings of New York, particularly of the Brooklyn Bridge, he was also compelled to express the powerful connection he felt to the natural world, a subject he would pursue persistently throughout his career. Visionary Nature will feature more than one hundred paintings and works on paper that reveal the complexity and spirituality that drove Stella’s nature-based works and the breadth of his artistic vision. The exhibition will dig deeply into the context of the works, exploring their inspirations, sources, and stylistic influences.
This exhibition is co-organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Brandywine River Museum of Art.
