Crescent Cityscapes

In this exhibition pulled from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art's permanent collection, New Orleans is the muse. In works that capture the "slant of light through thick humid air," and "cracked sidewalks of urban entropy juxtaposed against the shock of new construction in the midst of history," "climbing vines and persistence of nature that threatens daily to swallow the landscape"—we see how, form the 19th century to now, artists have been inspired by the Crescent City. ogdenmuseum.org.
