Bringing Natalie Home: An Exhibit of Natalie Van Vleck’s Art

Flanders is excited to announce an exhibition of founder Natalie Van Vleck’s art, “Bringing Natalie Home.”  The public is invited to attend the opening reception which is planned for Friday, February 7, 2025 at 6PM in the newly renovated Van Vleck Gallery. The gallery is located inside the historic Van Vleck House at 5 Church Hill Road in Woodbury. This is the first comprehensive exhibit of her artwork in the newly established Van Vleck Gallery. The artwork will be on display throughout the year.

Shown will be a works of varying subject, media and periods from Natalie’s career as a visual artist. This will include works on paper as well as paintings from her early studies with portrait painter Agnes Richmond, studies at the Art Students League with anatomy master George Bridgman, portrait painter and leader of the Ash Can School Robert Henri and pioneer of the Modern Avant Garde in America, Max Weber. Natalie’s later mature landscapes and portraits will also be included.

After many years of Natalie’s artwork being in storage or hung in her studio, Flanders is “bringing home” Natalie’s art to her family’s home. In 1926, Natalie, an early American modernist painter, urged her parents to buy the 1786 house and she built a studio next door in 1928.
