Driscoll Babcock Galleries, New York, is currently hosting an exhibition titled 'Sight and Site Lines: American Works on Paper 1790-1890', that will be on view through October 22, 2016.'Sight and Site Lines: American Works on Paper 1790-1890' emphasizes on the role of drawing as the fundamental element of art-making, something that all artists must venture through in their creative process. The exhibition includes graphite and ink drawings, watercolor and even oils on paper by notable figures in the art world like Thomas Cole, William Sidney Mount, Frederic Church and Henry Roderick Newman. For many artists, drawing is the core of their creative output, working as a tool to create their perspective about world, and it enhances their experience and definition of site for both artist and the viewer. The nineteenth century was an excellent period of discovery and definition for artists in America, a time when and where art had to be created where it had not existed before. As the result, the artists trained their sights on the sites of the new nation to create magical and magnificent studies of landscapes, portraiture and figurative works, still life, city scenes, and virtually invented subjects from every aspect of American life.The exhibition is on view at Driscoll Babcock Galleries, 525 West 25th Street, New York, NY 10001, United States.
