Best Art of 2023
"The summer brought Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth, a survey of his career at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., that concentrated on his involvement with nature and the landscape. The show introduced a less anguished Munch, whose improvisatory stain painting and fresh unexpected colors were ahead of their time." - Roberta Smith
The Best Art of 2023:
Reframing the Familiar
"...Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century French Drawings From the Bibliothèque nationale de France, at the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Mass., offered a multiplicity of stellar works on paper, many never shown before. [...] Promenades on Paper was both sumptuous and illuminating."-Karen Wilkin
The Best of Art Exhibitions in 2023
"[...] This show at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., revealed an artist who always seemed to be emerging from dark sickrooms, seizing the landscape, which struck his eyes as fresh and startlingly sensate. Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth greatly expanded our understanding of Munch’s contribution to modern art."- Sebastian Smee
