Dixon Gallery Summer 2010 Exhibits

An eclectic combination of paintings and prints by women are currently on display during the summer season at the Dixon Gallery.

Over forty impressionist paintings by New Orleans native, Helen M. Turner are featured in the main gallery. This southern spinster pursued formal art training late in life in New York. Most of the paintings portray domestic period scenes of women.

English native, Clare Leighton, produced a large number of prints for books in the early twentieth century. From her days in New York city and The South, she produced a large volume of modernistic urban and rural prints.

Also on display are paintings of Memphis native John Torina and daughter Clare Torina.

This was an interesting combination of works by three accomplished female artist. The impressionist paintings by Helen M. Turner were exceptional.
