The American painter Kathleen Jacobs is a member of the ‘reverse Hudson River School’ in having grown up in Aspen in the West and subsequently living and working nearby the Hudson River in the East for the last thirty years. She is also a member of a small club of artist/aviators including Doug Wheeler and James Turrell, whose experiences of flying small aircraft have brought them a unique perspective on atmosphere and the aesthetics of the sublime.
Jacobs’ exhibition Woods of Symbols is her second at our 26th Street location and features twelve very large paintings laboriously produced in the woods surrounding The Mount, the Lenox, Massachusetts home and garden that writer Edith Wharton designed and built for herself in 1902.
