Exhibition Opening: Watteau’s Soldiers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"19911173\"<\/p>\n

The Frick will be opening a new exhibition featuring a unique set of works by Jean-Antoine Watteau. Known for his romanticized paintings of aristocrats, no one would expect to see a Watteau that depicted the misery of war. But the Frick has provided just that, collecting a selection of Watteau’s earlier works which depict\u00a0the grueling and bleak war of the Spanish succession.<\/p>\n

Brent Birnbaum will be debuting his new work at Denny Gallery this week. In his new show, Birnbaum will be continuing his passion for collecting obsolete objects and turning them into artistic pieces of cultural commentary. What’s he collecting this time? Wood-paneled refrigerators perhaps?<\/p>\n
