Artist Anne Diggory discusses painting Lake George

Anne Diggory’s research into the painting location of nineteenth-century painter John Frederick Kensett’s iconic Lake George, 1869, was recently published in the Metropolitan Museum Journal, in an article that corrects the misconception that he altered the topography and clarifies the artistic choices he made to convey the drama of light on the landforms at the lake.   To research Kensett’s location Diggory spent time on and around the lake, photographing what inspired him in a process of capturing light and movement that is now part of her own artwork, currently on view in Anne Diggory: Hybrid Visions through January 4, 2015.
