Interview: Warren Kimble’s new exhibition at the Shelburne Museum

Warren Kimble’s landscapes, barns, domestic and wild animal paintings are familiar, but a new retrospective at the Shelburne Museum also features many lesser known works, including early pieces from his time as a professor at Castleton State College. It also highlights newer and darker pieces, inspired by the war in Iraq. We got a sneak peek of the exhibit during a walk-through with Shelburne Museum Director Stephan Jost.
