Masterworks of Color: Shaker Crafts and the Art of George Chaplin
This exhibition is one in a series exploring Shaker craft in dialogue with contemporary art. Joy in Shaker life was expressed through color. The wooden objects in the gallery, large and small, and the textiles have color that was applied up to two hundred years ago. These are and were a source of joy in Shaker life up to the present. Sharing the gallery are paintings by the artist George Chaplin. He had no direct connection to the Shakers, but his works are also an expression of the emotions that respond to color.
