    Dr. Lisa Fischman, the chief curator, said the exhibition displays pieces of “” the earliest, most traditional examples of watercolor painting to surprising contemporary experiments, all of the works engage the characteristics of the medium: immediacy, transparency, malleability, and luminosity.””
