oppression, rather than opportunities for commerce and invention, Bailly suggests. "For him, the traditions of marine painting are meant to be reckoned with for their very painful history," she says of Cave. Cave will visit Crystal Bridges to discuss "Sea Sick" in greater detail in January. Additional sections in the exhibition discuss topics such as immigration and the historical relationship between cowboy songs and 19th-century sea shanties originating from the musical traditions of enslaved Africans, Bailly continues. Sections displaying works on "Horizons" and "Beachcombing" close the exhibition, encouraging visitors to indulge deeper in the aesthetic vision of artists and the dynamic zone of the beach. "As tourists we probably experienced recreation, rejuvenation and a chance to beachcomb, which today is kind of looking for treasures or sea glass or little things that we might find," Bailly says, noting that artist depictions of such traditions explore why people continue to be drawn to the sea or contemplation of it. "In American Waters" is co-organized by Crystal Bridges and Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. The exhibition is co-created by Bailly and Daniel Finamore, The Russell W. Knight Maritime Art and History curator with the Peabody Essex Museum. It will remain on display through Jan. 31. Mary Jordan can be reached by email at mjordan@ nwadg.com or on Twitter @ NWAMaryJ.
