In its first show of 2016, the David Brower Center presents Vanishing Ice: Alpine and Polar Landscapes in Art 1775-2012, a multi-media exhibition tracing the effects of frozen landscapes on artistic imaginations over two hundred years. From the records of early naturalistic voyages to contemporary scientific and stylized representations, the artworks in Vanishing Ice present the romance, fragility, force and vulnerability of frozen ice, glaciers, ice fields, and the ecologies they found and inspire. Vanishing Ice: Alpine and Polar Landscapes in Art 1775-2012 consists of work selected by Dr. Barbara Matilsky, curator of art at the Whatcom Museum.
