Genre Paintings: A Definition
Genre paintings of previous centuries depicted everyday life, often a domestic or farm scene, typically with a figure of the time period. Artists recorded scenes providing information not only about life, but also details of architecture, clothing, and culture for coming generations to appreciate. Genre paintings often record aspects of life fading away. The painting becomes the memory, the historical record.

Every Day Life...Every Day Moments...
Genre paintings in this show are a snapshot of our story, every day moments, about life today, about our varying cultures, family life, work life and even playtimes. While these human stories often include a figure in the scene, some scenes can so powerfully express special experiences we have all seen, we can place ourselves at the scene.

At the Artists' Reception you will hear more. At 2:00pm on Sunday, April 22, attending artists will share the reasons they were drawn to paint the scenes they did. Audience participation is always welcome. I hope it will be educational, and informative and at the end of the panel discussion, perhaps we will look at the exhibition with new ‘eyes’ and appreciate the artists and the paintings from a new perspective. xxxxxxxxC McBride
