Description

As an instructor in Woodmere’s studio program, Tarver led a group of photographers to the site where Walter Elmer Schofield made his painting, Wissahickon in Winter (c. 1920). The idea was to explore how a place that had inspired another artist might continue to inspire.

Tarver’s Flow focuses attention on the roaring energy of the Wissahickon and the motion of water as it rushes around a rock, an exciting visual event that is emblematic of the power of the larger whole.
