Opening Reception | Thumb-Box Paintings Exhibition
The exhibition is an annual show of small works, a tradition begun in 1908. Thumb-box paintings are similar to what most galleries today call ‘small works,’ ‘cabinet works’ or ‘intimate works.’ with traditional rules specifying works of less than 20 x 16 inches in either direction. The yearlyexhibition received the name, ‘thumb-box,’ after the compact wooden paint box that was used to paint outdoor locations and then to carry the wet panels back to the studio. “Small works are a chance for artists to explore their greatest ideas before committing to a larger finished work,” says Jacob Collins, Realist painter and President Emeritus of Salmagundi. “The works are a small window into the artist’s thought process.” Free soft drinks and snacks.
