2024 post:
Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This 2009 watercolor is by Lawrence-based artist Lisa Grossman, who often takes inspiration from the Kansas River (also known as the Kaw River).
“I revel in the lyrical sweep of the Kansas River… There’s a rhythm, a cadence of the curvilinear river unfurling across the vast floodplain and bouncing off of ancient bluffs that captivates me. ... There’s nothing like painting to really see and develop affection for places, and, for me, it was a way to honor the river as a whole, one painting at a time.”
— Lisa Grossman
