| Details: | Shelburne Museum’s 2022 exhibition, Luigi Lucioni: Modern Light, examines the career, influences, and techniques of American artist Luigi Lucioni. A prolific painter and printmaker, Lucioni is known today for his landscape paintings, still-life works, portraiture, and etchings. Modern Light will be the first comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work at a major public museum, as well as Shelburne Museum’s first monographic exhibition of Lucioni’s art since 1968. Born in Italy in 1900, Lucioni immigrated to the United States in 1911 and rose from humble beginnings to achieve commercial and critical success as an artist. After training at Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design, Lucioni was granted his first solo exhibition at the Ferargil Galleries in New York in 1927. A friendship and patronage with Shelburne Museum’s founder, Electra Havemeyer Webb, drew the artist to Shelburne, Vermont, in 1930. Lucioni maintained a lifelong connection with the Museum and Vermont and spent many summers teaching at the Southern Vermont Arts Center.
