The art of Currier & Ives is featured at Winterthur/

The art of Currier & Ives is featured at Winterthur.

Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library (Route 52, Wilmington, Delaware, 302-888-4600, www.winterthur.org) is presenting a very special exhibition now through January 8, 2017 – “Lasting Impressions: The Artists of Currier & Ives.”

“Lasting Impressions: The Artists of Currier & Ives” is an exhibition of some of today’s most sought-after works that explores the role of Frances (“Fanny”) Bond Palmer and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, two of the most prolific artists for the iconic publisher of Christmas cards and Americana.

Perhaps best known today for their enchanting Christmas cards, Currier & Ives became synonymous with idealized images of 19th-century American home life after opening in 1834.

They created and mass distributed for the first time colorful lithographs that ordinary citizens could display in their homes, eventually producing more than 1 million lithographs with 7,500 titles. Their work is widely regarded as one of the greatest pictorial recordings of 19th-century America.

Through the more than 40 selected works of art along with multimedia installations, “Lasting Impressions” looks at the work of Palmer and Tait in an art world where both artist and publisher invited Americans to reconsider their notions of artistic creation. Among the many recognizable works that will be on display are “The Champions of the Mississippi,” “A Race for the Buckhorns,” “The “Lightning Express” Trains,” and “Life on the Prairie: The Buffalo Hunt.”

In addition to the collection of Palmer and Tait’s prints, the exhibition will feature several multimedia installations, including a video documenting the history of Currier & Ives, and interactive touch-screens encouraging the viewer to explore conservation findings and physical evidence of the artistic process.

As visitors compare their reactions to the exhibition prints and the images on the touch-screens, they will be able to identify traces of the lithographic process and exercise their judgment as instant “connoisseurs” of Currier & Ives prints.
