Whether documenting city life or responding to the awe-inspiring qualities of nature, artists constantly revisit the subject of their surroundings. This exhibition features selected artworks from RAM’s permanent collection that provide a lively sampling of different points of view expressed by nearly 100 individuals portraying the world around them. Presenting pieces created from 1930 to the present, this show demonstrates interpretations artists have of nature’s grandeur and humanity’s achievements in creating urban environments, as well as RAM’s breadth of collection holdings.
Drawn from RAM’s collection, the show includes images of buildings, street scenes, farms and the countryside. Media covered in the exhibition include graphics and photography, but also works in ceramics, fibers, glass, metals and wood, demonstrating how different materials can be utilized to depict the same subject matter.
