To the Ends of the Earth, Painting the Polar Landscape
Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA USA United States of America

At the limits of geography and physical endurance, artist-explorers found the ultimate inspiration in polar vistas they encountered in the 19th- and early 20th centuries. Featuring more than 50 works depicting the drama and magnificence of setting out to sea in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, To the Ends of the Earth, Painting the Polar Landscape opens November 8, 2008, at the Peabody Essex Museum. 'Never before have so many outstanding Western paintings of the Arctic and Antarctic been brought together in one place,' said Sam Scott, PEM associate curator of Maritime Art and History, and curator of the exhibition. 'North American, British, and Scandinavian artists captured the awe-inspiring polar landscapes in a variety of ways - documentary, sublime and existential. Some saw the heroic in man's attempt to conquer the unknown. Others, moved by the landscape's sheer power and perceived invulnerability, evoked a spiritual response.' - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
