Autumn Exhibitions: Celebrating Works on Paper
October 5 - November 3
Frederick Arthur Bridgman:
A Southern Artist on the Nile, 1874
In December 1873, a young artist from Tuskegee, Alabama ventured up the river Nile on a life-changing journey that would soon take him to the heights of fame in Paris, London, and New York. Frederick Arthur Bridgman (1847-1928), is considered America’s great painter of North-African subjects. This exhibition presents rare watercolors and drawings from his historic first encounter with Egypt, seen through the eyes of a youthful master on the threshold of a brilliant career.
