Rheingantz x Prendergast
Brazilian artist Marina Rheingantz’s paintings explore nature and the built environment, both real and imagined. Suggestions of buildings, houses, trees, and other structures float on an abstracted blue field. The scale of human-made forms in Rheingatz’s work is unsettling; they appear inconsequential to the whole. Her technique is further disorienting, consisting of thick impasto but also thin washes.
Rheingantz cites many influences, but for WCMA the most important is Maurice Brazil Prendergast. The museum has the largest holdings of Prendergast, and we have placed five watercolors of Italy in dialogue with Rheingantz’s monumental work Vavale in a new exhibition, Rheingantz x Prendergast, now on view in our intimate Aaron Gallery.
