Whitney Bedford American, b. 1973

  • Whitney Bedford revisits historical paintings and visual structures with a contemporary fixation on the horizon line, viewpoints, and brushstroke. In reworking these paintings with a sensibility to beauty, Bedford imbues history as both a static past and a negotiable future.
