| Details: | In De Pictura (On Painting, 1435), Italian Renaissance theorist Leon Battista Alberti instructed painters to consider the frame of the painting as an open window. This treatise laid out a method for effectively creating perspectival (single point) space in painting and, consequently, served as a defining concept for theories of painting, architecture, and moving pictures going forward. Of course, “Alberti’s window” has been challenged repeatedly by modern artists through painting movements like Cubism, photographic collage, avant-garde film, and multiple modes of contemporary art. The works in this exhibition either follow or challenge the metaphor of Alberti’s window, but also provide an intellectual space in which we might consider how our own views are framed and with what perspective.
