Using John Milton’s 17th century epic as inspiration, the painting-centric Paradise Lost / Paradise Regained exhibition at the American Pavilion in Venice, Italy featured work by Richard Bosman, Roger Brown, Louisa Chase, Janet Cooling, Peter Dean, Reverend Howard Finster, Eric Fischl, Charles Garabedian, Jedd Garet, April Gornik, George Thurman Green, Barbara Kassel, Cheryl Laemmle, Robert Levers, Judith Linhares, John Mendelsohn, Melissa Miller, Ronald Morosan, Lee N. Smith III, Earl Staley, David True, Russ Warren, Tony Wong, and Robert Yarber. Organized by: Lynn Gumpert, Ned Rifkin, Marcia Tucker
The curators on the exhibition title: “The notion of Earthly Paradise, of the Golden Age, of a Utopian existence, is important to an understanding of much contemporary painting in America today because it symbolizes a national longing for peace and security at a time when artists are seeking to reinvest the world with meaning.”
