May 10 – September 6, 2026
Reception: Sunday, May 17, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

For centuries, the American coastline has provided artistic inspiration as well as a retreat for painters. Whether working en plein aire, instructing students, or spending time with their families, many American artists used their time by the ocean to recapture their creative muse.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as industrialization reshaped the American landscape, its coastal regions offered respite, as well as opportunity to explore new subject matter. Artists were drawn to the shore’s dramatic beauty and light, and the dynamic, tumultuous ocean. Artists in this intimate exhibit include George Bellows, Ture Bengtz, Albert Bierstadt, Jasper Cropsey, J.J. Enneking, Childe Hassam, Charles Woodbury and more.

Interpreting the Natural: Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
2026-09-20 - 2027-01-17 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
The Duxbury Art Center present
Interpreting the Natural:
Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
September 20, 2026 – January 17, 2027
Reception: Sunday, September 20, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Guest Curator, Donna Dodson, brings together ten artists whose
practices engage with the ancient Chinese tradition of appreciating
naturally occurring stones as vessels of contemplation, metaphor, and
imaginative space. The exhibition explores how today’s artists
reinterpret the spirit of scholars’ rocks through a range of materials,
scales, and conceptual approaches.
Rather than replicating historical forms, the featured works consider how nature is shaped; physically, culturally, and spiritually. Some artists emphasize geological presence and raw materiality, while others evoke symbolic landscapes, cosmology, or interior states. Together, these contemporary responses extend a centuries-old dialogue between art and nature, inviting
viewers to slow down and recognize the power of the organic world to
prompt reflection and wonder. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on an enduring artistic lineage, bridging tradition and innovation.
