“Not Theories but Revelations:” The Art and Science of Abbott Handerson Thayer

March 11, 2016 - August 21, 2016 - Not Theories but Revelations is the first exhibition to address Thayer’s artistic practice as part of his broader investigation of animal and human concealment. His idealized portraits of young women and monumental landscapes, along with his puzzle pictures of birds and paper doll soldiers, elucidate Thayer’s original, controversial, and radical ideas.
