Our new Robert Winthrop Chanler exhibition features works from private collections throughout the country, many on public display for the first time, by the early twentieth century artist and creator of the Buffalo Mural in the Breakfast Room at Coe Hall. The selection of 12 works highlight Chanler’s depiction of frenzied worlds and his singular usage of metallic paints in a range of physical scale.  Chanler (1872-1930) is best known for his decorative creations that lived in exclusive interiors and affluent estates of the time, but only a limited number of his works survive today and only a handful of those are in the public realm.
