| Reality Check: Contemporary American Trompe l'Oeil |
| September 11 - November 18 |
| The Brandywine River Museum is known for its outstanding collection of 19th- and early 20th-century American trompe l'oeil paintings. A French term meaning "fool the eye," trompe l'oeil is part of a long tradition of illusionism that dates to antiquity. In this exhibition, the Museum presents the work of 22 contemporary trompe l'oeil artists and examines how the tradition has evolved in the present day. |
| This exhibition is supported by the museum’s Davenport Family Foundation Fund for Exhibitions. |
| Reality Check Artists Panel |
| September 11 at 11 a.m. |
| Artists represented in the exhibition will discuss their influences, techniques and more in a special program moderated by the exhibition’s curator Audrey Lewis. The program is free for members and included in museum admission. |
