Yet, his work is also uniquely his own, the result of direct observation, memory, and careful attention to particular elements of a landscape.  His repetition of key themes\u2014gardens, butcher shops, flags\u2014in varying mediums and colors, becomes vital in understanding Berger\u2019s process.   This exhibition focused on Jason Berger\u2019s artistic return to familiar subject matter spanning his travels throughout New England and Europe, with particular attention to sites in France and Portugal.  Works in multiple media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, and sketchbooks, provide a fuller picture of the artist\u2019s attentiveness to subject and reinterpretation of a scene.  His expressive brushstrokes and vibrant palette bring each motif to life, from the view from his studio window in Brookline to a celebration of Bastille Day in Normandy.  The exhibition included works from the last decades of Berger\u2019s career, when he spent considerable time traveling and returning, by plane or by palette, to favorite subject matter, for home was wherever the artist was painting.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3133,"template":"","exhibition_type":[30],"class_list":["post-1645","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exhibition_type-past-exhibition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/1645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m.3rwd.com\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_type?post=1645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
