☞ SEE: Watercolors at the Studio Museum


A DELICATE TOUCH: WATERCOLORS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION at the Studio Museum of Harlem. The Studio Museum explores and engages its permanent collection with this exhibition of watercolor paintings. Presenting eighteen works on paper, A Delicate Touch brings together works dating from the late 1940s to 2007 that share the medium.

John Dowell, whose work Delicate Touch (1977) provides the inspiration for the title of the exhibition, uses watercolor to create meditations on jazz. Other mid-twentieth-century artists, including Romare Bearden, Beauford Delaney and Norman Lewis, chose watercolor for landscapes and nature scenes. The Studio Museum of Harlem is located at 144 West 125th Street between ACP/7th Avenue and Malcolm X/6th Avenue. The nearest subway are the 2,3 or the A,B,C,D at 125th Street, Tel.(212) 864-4500.www.studiomuseum.org
