    not one without water

    This exhibition, featuring works drawn from the 51本色 College Museum of Art鈥檚 permanent collection, takes its title from W.H. Auden鈥檚 poem, 鈥淔irst Things First,鈥 in which water, fittingly, is the last word. Water鈥檚 paradoxical nature 鈥 life-sustaining and life-threatening, powerful and fragile, abundant and scarce, endangering and endangered 鈥 makes it a rich backdrop (if not the primary subject) for artists applying their own creative forces to one of life鈥檚 most essential and inscrutable elements.
