Exhibition of Emil Carlsen's paintings featured at Lyman Allyn
The exhibition "Emil Carlsen's Quiet Harmonies" is on view at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum through March 24.
The show was organized by the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana, and has also traveled to the Huntington Museum of Art in Huntington, West Virginia.
Carlsen (1848-1932) is known within the history of American art for his masterful still-life paintings, but this exhibition will be the first since the 1970s to focus on Carlsen’s compelling landscapes and seascapes. The exhibition’s curator, Robyn G. Peterson, says, “All of these exquisite works reveal a technical facility and assured composition that deeply impress the viewer. Carlsen is remembered for his still-lifes, yet the landscapes and seascapes — a majority of them executed during the prime of his artistic life — are a true joy to experience.”
The exhibition includes 40 paintings and works on paper from 21 museums private collectors in the U.S. and Canada.
The Lyman Allyn is at 625 Williams St., New London. It is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays. Call (860) 443-2545.
