Painting gives artists a blank canvas to experiment with form and technique and to capture an array of subjects and emotions. In Focus on Painting, explore the breadth of paintings within the University of Delaware’s collections where you will find favorites from classes and previous exhibitions alongside artwork that you may not have seen before.

From the traditional to the unusual, visitors will find portraits, landscapes and seascapes, abstractions, and more. These include artworks from the 17th century through present day by American and European artists as well as African American artists and former University of Delaware faculty members and alumni.

The exhibition is on view February 7 - May 13 in Old College Gallery on the University of Delaware’s Newark campus. Old College Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
