The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is delighted to announce its 2023 Spring Exhibitions, which open to the public on Saturday, February 4.
The inaugural exhibition of “America’s Western Landscape,” by American photographer Mark Burns, will open at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday, February 4, 2023. For details, visit pearlmfa.org.American photographer Mark Burns was born in Houston and creates compelling images that are a unique mastery of composition, lighting, and photographic technique. In October 2015 he completed a five year project photographing all 59 of America’s national parks in black and white. “The National Parks Photography Project” traveled to six museums the following year, including the Pearl, with a combined attendance of nearly 300,000 people.
“America’s Western Landscape” will be featured in the Main Gallery of the Pearl from February 4 through May 13, 2023. The exhibition also features an optional audio guide accessible via smartphones.
In the Cole Gallery, the Pearl will feature “Hidden Beauty in the Ordinary,” with a dozen works by artist Lindy Chambers. Chambers paints rural scenes of life in the Texas countryside where she lives. By simply paying attention, she observes often overlooked aspects of life to discover beauty in mobile homes, stray dogs, and piles of trash.
“The Decisions We Make” is one of a dozen paintings by Lindy Chambers that will be featured at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts this spring. “Hidden Beauty in the Ordinary” opens on February 4 and continues through May 13. For more information visit pearlmfa.org.About the Pearl
