Shirley Gorelick: Figuring It Out
Posted: May 29, 2026
Category: Painting
NMWA's current exhibition is centered on three major paintings by Gorelick in the museum’s collection and highlights her piercing vision of humankind.
Four people are depicted outdoors on green grass; three are seated and talking, two in hats, while one person in a floral dress stands to the left, partially turned away. The scene is painted in vibrant, impressionistic colors.
