Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly

The first exhibition to examine "painting softly," a distinctive approach to painting exemplified in works by James McNeill Whistler and George Inness, Like Breath on Glass traces a quieter approach to painting that evolved around the turn of the twentieth century.

The exhibition was organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and is supported in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and by a contribution from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Martucci.
