Joan Winter, Roots/Finding Light (Blue), 2023
Re/Framed: The Color Blue
On view through March 2026
Amon Carter Museum of American Art
In art, color is often more than just pigment. It can also be a conduit for conveying the emotion and psychology of a subject. Blue—a hue associated with natural elements like water or sky, and with feelings like melancholy or tranquility—carries rich associations and resonances. From the inky blues of a nocturne scene to the distinctive Prussian blue of a cyanotype photograph, the works brought together in Re/Framed explore the expressive power and technical significance of blue across different art practices.
Re/Framed gives visitors to the Carter a new way to look at the Museum’s collection. Several times a year, artwork is rotated throughout the galleries allowing visitors to see the works through a different lens. Works that are part of Re/Framed can be identified by the window icon on their labels.
Winter’s work, Roots/Finding Light (Blue), 2023, is part of the Amon Carter’s permanent collection, and currently on view in the exhibition, Re/Framed: The Color Blue.
