Abstract

Catalogue of an exhibition at the Trout Gallery, March 2- April 15 , 2017.

Senior Exhibit, Art and Art History Department, Prof. Phillip Earenfight, Dickinson College.

A British Sentiment: Landscape Drawings and Watercolors 1750–1950 from the Collection of John Harbold is a curatorial project by senior Art History majors at Dickinson College. It stems from an annual seminar designed to introduce students to the practice of preparing an exhibition and catalogue. Working with objects on loan to The Trout Gallery, the ten student curators selected the works for the exhibition, organized the material into major themes, prepared the following essays, and produced the exhibition didactic and educational materials.
