ABOUT THE EXHIBITIOON
A New Renaissance: Revisiting Old Masters pairs historical European artworks from the PhxArt collection with new contemporary acquisitions, demonstrating the evolution of artistic traditions across time and place. Viewers experience the atmospheric landscapes and swirling compositions of Maria Kreyn alongside William Hamilton’s 18th-century Neoclassical scene of wolves, while highlighting Henri Rousseau’s portrait of modernist painter Marie Laurencin, whose own images of women were inspired by Sèvres porcelain. The exhibition culminates with work by Flora Yukhnovich, who reimagines traditional still-life painting and our relationship to objects and luxury.
