The aquarium was invented in 1850, just as Impresssionism was beginning to gather steam, a curious indoor counterpart to that movement's espousal of “plein air” painting. Under Water is a historical overview of art that has drawn on the model or form of the aquarium. It begins with prints from around 1900, and closes with contemporary photographic and video works.
