Jacob Lawrence's Hiroshima
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
Morris Gallery, Historic Landmark Building
August 1 – December 28, 2008
In 1982, Sidney Shiff, owner of the Limited Editions Club, New York commissioned the artist Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) to make illustrations for a book of his choice. Lawrence selected Hiroshima (1946), John Hersey’s extraordinary account of six survivors of the first atomic bomb attack. The result was a series of eight paintings inspired by but which transcend Hersey’s text to rank among Lawrence’s most powerful visual statements. Now part of the Academy’s permanent collection, the Hiroshima series (1983) is Lawrence’s devastating evocation of the physical and emotional impact of the Hiroshima bombing.

Whitfield Lovell: All Things in Time
September 27, 2008 – May 10, 2009
Whitfield Lovell will be presented at the Hudson River Museum as a large-scale survey exhibition showcasing the work of one of the contemporary art world’s finest interpreters of lost or contested history. Born in the Bronx in 1959, Lovell has become internationally recognized for his large-scale tableaux and room-sized installations that combine evocative found historical objects with exquisitely rendered life-sized charcoal portraits, frequently based on historic photographs. These elements are combined to strikingly picturesque effect and create a dramatic situation or “scene” which is left to the viewer to interpret.

Joyce Kozloff: co+ordinates
The Trout Gallery at Dickinson College
October 31 – January 10, 2009
In this selection of works by Joyce Kozloff, she considers relationships of power and global politics through the imagery of maps and cartography. Her paintings, some of which cover spherical surfaces and globes, often resemble maps from antiquity as well as from the age of exploration dotted with contemporary references to examine issues of territorial conquest, identity, and the topography of power. Although her works trace physical boundaries and recognizable geographic borders, such territorial references act as metaphors for people, culture, body, and mind.
