The Walpole's Leap exhibit is curated under the tenets of the brilliant Horace Walpole, the 4th Earl of Orford Earl of Orford is a title that has been created three times. The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1697 in favour of the naval commander Edward Russell, who served three times as First Lord of the Admiralty. (1717 - 1797) an original and forward thinking art historian, architect, letter writer, Member of Parliament, Novelist and Publisher. Walpole believed in progress, modernization and the importance of "leaping fences to see the world anew". Horace Walpole broke conventions; encouraging originality. The 499 Park Avenue exhibit applies these tenets to the artists and artworks presented. The curators serendipitously discovered artworks that hinted of traditional, representational Gardens but found new inspiration in Walpole's ideas of modernism and naturalism naturalism, in art naturalism, in art, a tendency toward strict adherence to the physical appearance of nature and rejection of ideal forms. Artists as diverse as Velázquez, J. F. Millet, and Monet, have followed naturalistic principles. . The images in the exhibition can evoke the presence of a garden wall between nature and culture like John Zinsser's Exact Measure painting Lynn Stern's Ghost Circle photographs and Charles Butterly's sculpture cut-outs. Leaping off these walls one can imagine larger views of intellectualized landscapes as seen in the paintings of Lucio Pozzi and Michael Goldberg. The intimate interior world of gardens can be experienced in Jon Nathanson's expressionistic ex·pres·sion·ism n. A movement in the arts during the early part of the 20th century that emphasized subjective expression of the artist's inner experiences. ex·pres painting on paper, the photograph, Two Gardens by Abelardo Morell Abelardo Morell (born Havana, Cuba, 1948) is a Boston-based photographer.
