Dixon Gallery and GardensQuiet Spirit, Skillful Hand: The Graphic Work of Clare LeightonJune 27 – September 19, 2010
Born in England in 1898, Clare Leighton created over 800 prints and illustrated more than 65 books over her 50 year career. Influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late nineteenth century, she devoted herself to wood engraving, emphsizing the medium’s simplicity of line and richness of tone. She often depicted rural men and women living and working in harmony with nature, despite the increased mechanization of agriculture she witnessed during her lifetime, giving her works a quiet spirit spiritually and enduring timelessness. Quiet Spirit, Skillful Hands, organized by the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina, re-examines Leighton’s rich legacy through her most important engravings, watercolors, and drawings. |
