Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In conjunction with the Museum\u2019s 125th<\/sup> anniversary<\/a>, Picturing Oregon<\/em> offers an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on the importance of place and to celebrate the incredible geographic diversity of Oregon, and the artists whose work it inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its wide-ranging climate and expansive range of natural features, Oregon\u2019s landscape has long been an inspiration for artists. The western side boasts miles of coastline offering vistas of dunes and spires, while abundant rain cycles further inland result in dense, forested mountains, mossy urban areas, and bountiful agriculture. Set in the \u201crain shadow\u201d of the Cascades, arid eastern Oregon is characterized by desert landforms and vast, dramatic terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picturing Oregon <\/em>presents paintings and photographs inspired by the distinct regions that comprise the state\u2014the Coast; Greater Portland; Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge; Willamette Valley; Central Oregon; Eastern Oregon; and Southern Oregon. The exhibition features works from the late 1800s, including Oregon\u2019s pioneer period, and touches on contemporary pieces\u2014all from the Museum\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrated artists depicting this diverse ecological state include William Samuel Parrott, Charles McKim, C.E.S. Wood, Childe Hassam, and Charles Heaney, among others. Louis Bunce, Amanda Snyder, Michael Brophy, and Roll Hardy offer an abstract and a contemporary lens to the landscape. Picturing Oregon<\/em> will also feature a selection of photography, which has served an important role in capturing the region, including works by Lily White, Myra Albert Wiggins, Sarah Ladd, Drex Brooks, and Douglas Frank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized by Grace Kook-Anderson, Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art.<\/em> Sponsored by Wells Fargo and the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
