Inspired by the essays of American transcendentalists Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, this exhibition explores the value of seclusion and self-reflection. The works, which range in date and medium, consider both the pain and pleasure of isolation, ultimately posing the question: At what point does solitude cease to be a refuge from society?
This exhibition is curated from the ASU Art Museum’s permanent collection by Brittany Corrales, Windgate curatorial assistant and graduate student in art history, and is supported by the Evelyn Smith Exhibition Fund.
