“Reflections,” a Virginia Museum Artmobile exhibition which explores interconnections between the natural sciences and the visual arts, opens March 31 for a four-day stay in Washington.
The Artmobile will be parked in town and will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibition is sponsored locally by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC). ',r While art and science might seem very separate today, there actually has always been a close relationship between the two, said exhibition coordinator Don Schrader, of the Virginia Museum staff. Artists were among the earliest investigators of nature as they sought more accurate ways to portray the world, he said. Early scientific studies also provided technologies which rapidly advanced the practice of art.
“The artist and the scientist both deal with the same world, although with different purposes. The scientist wants to find out how things work, and the artist wants to understand appearances and the effects they produce,” Mr. Schrader said. “Yet both the artist and the scientist must carefully observe the world in order to make selections from its many components and to learn how each of these selections affects their Scientific or artistic purpose.”
This Artmobile, the first created in collaboration with the Science Musuem of Virginia, uses the theme of reflections to examine areas in which science and art are related. More
