Thomas Gallery Intern: Martha Campbell Gallery Intern: Kristina Dover Gallery Intern: KC Galloway JUROR’S STATEMENT “Three elements coincide in any good art—a transcendent subject, technical virtuosity, and an original approach. Lacking any of these factors will sabotage the quality of the work. Leonardo’s image of the Last Supper moves us because of the combination of these three components—if he had drawn stick figures around the table, no matter how original, the work would be forgotten today. Likewise, no matter how well Margaret Keane painted her big-eyed puppies they will never go beyond being kitsch. The subject, the content, and the skill of the artist will always play major roles in our judgment of a work. With this in mind, we began this exhibition with an interesting subject, water, giving artists free rein in realizing their vision. Some of the entries had nothing to do with water, others explored water in the most microscopic way. I sought to identify original images that captured characteristic or unique qualities of water in interesting ways. Although I chose a variety of media, photographers who submitted their works were the most successful in achieving these qualities. Some images are straightforward representations of the natural world, others border on the abstract. Reflections are a major undercurrent of most of the works I selected for the show.” Eric Denker, Juror JUROR Eric Denker is a senior lecturer at the National Gallery of Art. From 1998 to 2006, Eric also served jointly as the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, overseeing the permanent collection and coordinating an active exhibition schedule that included the catalogue and show of Whistler and his Circle in Venice.
