Inspired by William Bartram: Southern Landscapes • Philip Juras

Part of the OLLI at Auburn Brown Bag Series
Free and open to the public!

Growing up in Georgia, artist Philip Juras could only dream of the bountiful southern nature that William Bartram documented two and a half centuries ago. Inspired by Bartram’s writing, Philip has created a body of paintings depicting both contemporary and historic natural landscapes from across the South. He will present work from his exhibit and award-winning book The Southern Frontier, Landscapes Inspired by Bartram’s “Travels”, along with new drawings and paintings that explore some of the forgotten landscapes Bartram so eloquently painted in words. By celebrating the beauty and richness of the nature we still have today while also conveying what we have lost, Philip’s work helps us imagine what can be restored for future generations.
