Welcome to the digital companion for Field Language: The Painting and Poetry of Warren and Jane Rohrer, an exhibition organized by the Palmer Museum of Art. This exhibition examines the art of Warren Rohrer (1927–1995) as it evolved in conversation with poet Jane Turner Rohrer (b. 1928), his partner of nearly fifty years. Field Language traces dialogues between husband and wife, painting and poetry, and between tradition and modernism. This website serves as a digital companion to the exhibition at the Palmer Museum of Art, which was on view from February 10 through May 30, 2021. Explore the four thematic sections to learn more about Warren and Jane Rohrer and their work.
