The Whitney Museum of American Art has a show of “Shifting Landscapes.” I’m a big fan of landscapes, and I saw a sample from the show in the Whitney’s website. Today I made the trip to see the show.
Here is my two-word review. SKIP IT. I did see the painting of the landscape featured on the website, and it was great. There were a few others I liked as well. OK, to be precise, two of them. Maya Lin has a installation that was thought-provoking, and there was a huge one of what looked like a prairie fire.
The main problem was that the exhibits were not landscapes. I’m a traditionalist. I know a landscape when I see one. I didn’t see many at the show.
