This exhibition of works from DeCordova's permanent collection explores how twentieth-century artists, working in diverse media, have created images of individual people engaged in meditation or reverie, or suffering from isolation, alienation, and loneliness. Alone also reveals the various formal strategies employed by artists to stress this emotional content.
Alone is organized by Curator Nick Capasso, and includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and prints by Ri Anderson, Bessie Boris, Stephen Brigidi, Larry Fink, Dore Gardner, Marcus Halevi, Joseph Hodgson, Peter Kayafas, Rockwell Kent, Conger Metcalf, Lisette Model, Maud Morgan, Nicholas Nixon, Arthur Polonsky, Ron Rizzi, Dana Salvo, Matthew Swarts, and Cary Wolinsky.
