Georgia Museum of ArtThanks to @hyperallergic for covering the pair of #BeverlyBuchanan shows (one here, one at the Lamar Dodd School of Art's Athenaeum gallery) on view this spring.

It's not quite true that Buchanan never received a solo show in Athens, Georgia, during her lifetime (we organized a small one in 1998), but these two exhibitions are much bigger and much deeper.
Megan Bickel closes the article with these beautiful words:
"Buchanan’s experience was one where daily life intermingled with a deeply felt understanding of regional identity. It informed work that embodied a special interpretation of the land and its parts as one jumbled and shifting site. The home, the chair, the garden, the rock — all one labored breath in the Georgia sun."
