Architecture and Urbanism

Architecture + Urbanism features a wide selection of architectural studies of the urban environment. Historically, artists' work has been as much about the built environment as the people who inhabit it. The interaction of these two spheres, known as urbanism, offers an insightful lens through which to consider these cityscapes. Ultimately, this consideration allows the viewer to develop a greater appreciation for the special role that artists have held in recording life around the world and throughout history. Artists featured in this exhibition include: G.B. Piranesi, Joseph Pennell, Childe Hassam, John Taylor Arms, and Robert Delaunay. Several depictions of Cleveland by Louis C. Rosenberg, August F. Biehle, and Yvonne Jacquette are also included.
