Georgia Museum of Art, Athens
This past Saturday, a new exhibition made its debut at the Georgia Museum of Art. Entitled Views of Empire: Grand and Humble the exhibition is part of the museum’s In Dialogue series, which is designed to create focused conversations around a few works of art from the museum’s permanent collection and to put the artists and their works in dialogue with contemporary art. Views of Empire brings together two different forms of nineteenth-century lithographs and related works. The pieces in this exhibition are drawn from the Parker Collection – containing 25 lithographs depicting St. Petersburg, Russia – and a 2020 donation by Marina Belosselsky-Belozersky Kasarda and Vladislav Kasarda of 30 hand-colored lithographs.
