Marquetry: Evolution of Art in Wood

Explore the artistry of marquetry in a focused exhibition at the Foote Gallery, where delicate sheets of wood are carefully fitted to create intricate images and patterns. Artists select veneers for their natural color and grain, transforming flat surfaces into richly ornamented works. The word itself traces to a French term meaning to inlay. Tracing its roots to ancient Egypt, the practice rose to prominence in Renaissance and Baroque Europe, adorning fine furniture and interiors and at times incorporating materials like ivory and mother of pearl. By the 17th and 18th centuries it had become refined enough to depict portraits and narrative scenes, especially in France and Italy. The exhibition also looks at marquetry today, presented as both craft and fine art, uniting materials, technique, and imagination. Programming includes a public opening reception, hands-on workshops that require registration, and demonstrations offered during the run of the show.

Connected by the Canyon: 50 Years Since the Big Thompson Flood

Marquetry: Evolution of Art in Wood

Presented in the Foote Gallery, this exhibition explores marquetry, where artists assemble thin sheets of wood to create images and intricate patterns.

The practice traces back to ancient Egypt and later thrived in Renaissance and Baroque Europe on fine furniture and interiors, sometimes paired with materials such as ivory and mother of pearl. By the 17th and 18th centuries it had become refined enough to portray scenes and portraits, with notable development in France and Italy. Today it persists as both craft and fine art, bringing together materials, methods, and creative vision. The exhibition also includes a public opening reception, demonstrations, and workshops that require registration.
