News from RiverBrink Art Museum
QUEENSTON (NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE), Ontario – August 7th, 2014 – RiverBrink Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition It Takes Two: Artists and Models in the RiverBrink Collection curated by Diane Pellicone on Saturday, August 16.
Augustus John, Portrait of “Poppet”, the artist’s daughter, 1935
This exhibition showcases selections from the permanent collection and will remain open until March 28, 2015.
It Takes Two considers the collaborative nature of portraiture. It explores how a relationship established between artist and model can not only affect the stylistic execution of a work of art, but also render a visibly compelling character study. Selected from the permanent collection of RiverBrink, the exhibition includes images of friends, family members, and acquaintances of several artists, all of whom convey strong personalities and an assertive presence.
RiverBrink Art Museum is located at 116 Queenston Street, Queenston (Niagara-on-the-Lake) (on the Niagara Parkway halfway between Niagara Falls and “Old Town” Niagara-on-the-Lake). It is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission: Adults $5.00, Seniors and Students $4.00, under 12 free. Free parking. Wheelchair accessible. For more information, please contact RiverBrinkArt Museum by phone at 905-262-4510 or by email at info@riverbrink.org.
