The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz has opened its fall 2015 exhibition entitled Jervis McEntee: Painter-Poet of the Hudson River School to the campus and regional community.

The Dorsky is proud to share that the exhibition has been reviewed in the Sept. 10, 2015 edition of the New York Times, in an article by Joyce Beckenstein.

Organized by independent curator and scholar Lee A. Vedder, Ph.D., Jervis McEntee is the first museum retrospective of the artist’s 40-year career. The exhibition, consisting of approximately 80 paintings and works on paper borrowed from more than 30 private and public collections, seeks to redefine McEntee’s place in the history of 19th-century American landscape painting.

Jervis McEntee will be on display at The Dorsky Museum from Aug. 26 through Dec. 13 in the museum’s Morgan Anderson, Howard Greenberg Family, and Corridor Galleries.

More information about this exhibition and associated events is available online.
