This year's fall season at the University of Richmond Museums opened with the Stanley Boxer exhibit, where splashes of vibrant color accent canvases textured with gritty sand, rough sawdust, bark and sparkling glitter. Elizabeth Stevens, an independent scholar, curated the Boxer exhibit, which was made possible through collaboration between The University of Richmond Museums, the Housatonic Museum of Art and the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Walking through the Stanley Boxer exhibit in the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum in the Modlin Center, there's a significant change in the style of the artwork, which is arranged in chronological order, stretching from 1946 to 2000. Heather Campbell, the University of Richmond's curator of museum programs, and Elizabeth Schlatter, Richmond's deputy director and curator of exhibitions, said Boxer's earlier paintings had been similar to the works of Picasso and Matisse.
