Reading French by Margaret Evangeline

MARGARET EVANGELINE

March 1–

The importance of women artists in the history of American Art is an ever-evolving, illuminating story. In celebration of women artists and Women’s History Month, the Everhart Museum presents a series of works by Margaret Evangeline.

Evangeline’s abstractions attempt to tackle the themes of collective memory, the passage of time, growth, and loss.

PERCEPTION >=< PERSPECTIVE

February 1–May 26

In Perception >=< Perspective there are not any discussions of the work, or the artist. The interpretation is left to the viewer. Works have been chosen based on our interpretations of how they may connect. However, you are the moderator of your feelings toward the works. It is your perception,  your perspective.

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Art, like beauty, speaks on a personal level. A work of art one person connects to, or finds comfort in, is often lost to another person viewing the same work. Artists are also part of this equation. It is their vision that produced the work, but once it leaves the studio their original idea and interpretation are truly left up to the viewer.

CHANGING FREQUENCIES: WORKS BY JON CARSMAN

Featuring selections from the Everhart’s collection, this show highlights Wilkes-Barre, PA native Jon Carsman’s (1944–1987) distinctive silkscreens as well as his acrylic, pen, and watercolor works. Much of his catalog includes pieces inspired by the natural landscape and architecture of Northeastern Pennsylvania, encapsulated in vivid work often described as “super realism” or “new realism.” Carsman became widely renowned, exhibiting alongside fellow silkscreen artist Andy Warhol and Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann.
