Alfred Currier
This lively yet thoughtful sketch of Alfred Currier's evolution as an artist focuses on his career during the past decade, after he came to Skagit County in Washington State from the Midwest in 1992. Currier (b. 1943) regards this decade as his professional coming of age, the crystallization of a personal style and technique. His recurrent theme is the rendering of the Skagit Delta, particularly the blossoming of its famous tulip fields and the people that work them.Paintings of tulip, iris, and daffodil fields dominate, but there are everyday scenes of Anacortes and Skagit County--backyards, lanes, work areas, homesteads--and forays into figure studies, always locked into satisfying, airtight compositions. He also paints the occasional skyscape of seascape, addressing a radically different sense of fathomless space.Ted Lindberg has been an art museum curator and administrator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and California College of Arts and Crafts. He lives in Sooke, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.
American Art from the Currier Gallery of Art
"The Currier's collection of American art focuses on New England from colonial times through the twentieth century, with special emphasis on work unique to New Hampshire, such as furniture made by the Dunlap family and paintings by artists working in the White Mountains. . . Although individual objects have been lent frequently to other museums, this exhibition marks the first time that a large selection of masterworks from the permanent collection of the Currier has toured the nation. Organized with the American Federation of Arts to tour during the renovation of the Currier's landmark building, 'American Art from the Currier Gallery of Art' focuses on painting, sculpture, silver, pewter, glass, and furniture from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, just prior to America's embrace of modernism." -- Foreword.
