Elizabeth Osborne (born 1936) has been a prominent figure in Philadelphia and at the Pennsylvania Academy since the 1950s. An influential painter and teacher, Osborne has been engaged with capturing the transitory effects of color and light through a variety of shifting subjects since the 1960s. Elizabeth Osborne: The Color of Light brings together works from all periods in her career, from a haunting series of interiors, to innovative land- and seascapes of the 1970s, ambitious large watercolors of the 1980s and work of the past two decades exploring nature's micro and macrocosm.

Approximately forty paintings, drawings and watercolors as well as the artist's sketchbooks are included and reveal the numerous ways Osborne has used color, often un-modulated, to represent the nuances of light and atmosphere. Elizabeth Osborne: The Color of Light traces how Osborne responded to developments of 1960s painting through innovation and the strong foundation of her Academy training.


Robert Cozzolino is the Curator of Modern Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
