This spring, The Whyte was pleased to accept a donation of 14 works by artist James Tanner. When we were approached by Mark Tanner, James’ son, about adding these works to the collection, we were immediately captivated by them, both for their content and for their bold, expressive use of classical figure drawing and still-life techniques.
This winter, a renewed energy filled The Whyte as the museum welcomed a major contemporary solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Elise Rasmussen, An Alpine Trilogy. Presented alongside it in the Rummel Room, Second Take: Histories of Film in the Rockies offers a complementary journey through cinematic and cultural memory.
