From February 6 to April 19, 2015, the LSU Museum of Art presents two paired exhibitions, An American in Venice: James McNeill Whistler and His Legacy and Venice, Traces: The Art of Sandra Russell Clark. These paired exhibitions showcase the work of two American artists who worked in Venice over a century apart: famed nineteenth-century printmaker James McNeill Whistler and contemporary Louisiana photographer Sandra Russell Clark. Venice is a city that has long-captured the American imagination, and, in placing the work of these two artists side-by-side, the LSU Museum of Art explores Venice as a city long seen to possess a particularly resonant relationship to history, memory and past time.
