Скачать или смотреть Hillwood Museum' Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean

Hillwood's latest exhibition, Fragile Beauty: Art of the Ocean, showcases items inspired by and made from materials originating in the oceans.

Through January 5, explore the art of ocean through pieces from Hillwood's collection alongside contemporary artworks and advocacy calling to attention the critical state of the oceans.

The exhibition was originally inspired by a rediscovered artwork that has not been shown in decades, Treasures of the Sea. This piece, one of the largest paintings at Hillwood, was once owned by Marjorie Post's father, C. W. Post.

Objects of rare and precious materials, including coral, pearl, tortoiseshell, and walrus ivory are on view, and the exhibition dives into sea-inspired mythology as well.

Fragile Beauty explores the splendor of the sea at a time when the ocean is in danger and sustainability is more important than ever.
