This major exhibition devoted to the artist June Leaf, whose enigmatic, beguiling, and often irreverent work is both endlessly experimental and uncategorizable, will draw from the artist’s vast archive along with loans from select private and institutional collections. The most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in more than three decades, June Leaf: Shooting from the Heart considers the breadth of Leaf’s 75-year career and will include enchanting and provocative sculptures, paintings, and works on paper.

This presentation explores American art in three sections: masterworks by Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer, whose works captured the aspirations and apprehensions of a nation coming into its own; American modernist paintings that convey the ingenuity of artists working amidst the tumult of the interwar years; and color field painters, who deemphasized gesture and active brushstrokes to distill the vocabulary of painting to its very essence.

This exhibition presents a work by Tommy Kha, the second recipient of the Addison’s Bartlett H. Hayes, Jr. Prize. Kha examines how we construct belonging and otherness through photography, inventing new models for self-portraiture with a critical eye toward the medium’s long history of absences and erasure.
