Snowy Visions
Snow transforms the familiar world into something wondrous. Blanketing diverse landscapes in white, it softens edges, muffles sound, and captures sparkling light and color. Featuring Open Access and Open Content images of collection objects generously shared by museums across the country, this digital exhibition presents snow scenes in paintings, prints, and photographs. The works reveal how artists skillfully responded to the particular challenges of depicting frigid precipitation, capturing the fleeting effects of movement and light and conveying the quiet beauty of a changed world in winter's grasp.
