Oil on canvas, 66 x 40 in., University Museums
- Renderings: New Narratives and Reinterpretations, in Mechanical Hall
- Sculpted by Nature: Silver and Copper from the Peter H. Farquhar Collection, in the Penny Hall gallery
- Delaware Awake! World War I at Home and Abroad, in the Old College west gallery; and
- Treasures and Tales of Italy’s Art Recovery Team Antiquities from the Guardia di Finanza, in the Old College main gallery.
Then Sarah gave us a detailed tour the Delaware Awake exhibit, which includes a mixture of pieces very specific to Delaware and its response to World War I, and several posters, books, paintings, drawings, and other material that demonstrated a variety of artistic responses to the war from artists and journalists across the United States and Europe.
We hope the audio interview whets your appetite to go see all of these University Museum exhibits, open Wednesdays – Sundays noon to 5:00 p.m., and Thursday evenings until 8:00 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
