Delaware Art Museum: The City On Paper, Seven Views

 I feel like one of the wonderful things about mid-sized, regional Art Museums is the way in which they utilize their resources to create beautiful, thought provoking focus exhibitions.  They often bring works out of the archives that otherwise would unlikely ever see the light of day.  The current exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum titled "The City On Paper" (March 28 to August 16) is exactly the epitome of these sorts of exhibitions.  It's only there for a couple more weeks, so if you stumble upon this post before it's too late and you have the means to do it--go.  You won't be disappointed.

Here are 7 views from a series of around 30 works.  Because, as works on paper, they also represent a variety of medium and techniques, I'm including that information with the title and attribution.
