Young Masters Open Call

by | Sep 24, 2024 | Blog post

To celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Young Masters, Cynthia Corbett Gallery is launching a fantastic new project this Fall. Get ready for an artists’ Open Call – an exhibition centered around the theme of “for the love of art history”. This special event will be selected and curated by Director and Founder, Cynthia Valianti Corbett. The theme is inspired by Corbett’s own love of art history; a lifelong passion for the old masters, and the art of the past.

From masterpieces such as Fragonard’s flirtatious vignette ‘The Swing’, to Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’, or Watteau’s ‘The Scale of Love’ art history offers numerous examples of romantic love. The theme could also be extended to platonic, or religious love, passion, devotion. Above all, love is the most human of emotions, and art possibly the most human of ways to express it. The gallery is looking for artists who are inspired by their own love of art history to submit their work on this theme. Find all the details below and join the Gallery in celebrating this major milestone with creativity and passion!
