Weekly Calendar
New York and Italy, As Seen By Visiting Artist Diana
Horowitz
'From 7 World Trade Center,' 2007, oil
on linen
|
Landscape painter Diana Horowitz will present a slide talk
on her work on Monday, Oct. 27, on
the Homewood campus. "Diana Horowitz: New York & Italy"
will begin at 5:30 p.m. in room 101 of the
Mattin Center's F. Ross Jones Building.
While Horowitz's unerring eye for light and atmosphere
connects her plein-air canvases to the
landscape studies Corot made in the Roman countryside
during the 1820s, her New York subject
matter — skyscrapers, elevated highways, power plants
— grounds her work firmly in the present. And
very few painters have been able to capture the luminous,
timeless beauty of Tuscany and Umbria the
way Horowitz does.
Horowitz has shown her paintings extensively in solo and
group exhibitions across the United
States and in Europe. Her work is in numerous private and
public collections, including those of the
Brooklyn Museum of Art and the New York Historical Society.
Her shows have been favorably
reviewed in The New York Times, The New Yorker and
New American Painting. She is represented by
Hirschl & Adler Modern in New York.
Born and raised in New York City, Horowitz received her BFA
from SUNY, Purchase in 1980 and
her MFA from Brooklyn College in 1987. She has won, among
many awards, two Pollock-Krasner
Foundation Grants and residencies at Yaddo and MacDowell
Colony. In 2006, Horowitz was elected a
member of the National Academy of Design. She has taught at
the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Tyler School of Art and the Rhode Island
School of Design. She currently teaches
painting and design and mentors graduate students at
Brooklyn College.
"Diana Horowitz: New York & Italy" is co-sponsored by
Homewood Art Workshops and
Homewood Arts Programs.
