The exhibition takes its title from the phrase Unfamiliar Skies which appears at the end
of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby when the dream that Gatsby had inhabited disintegrates,
certainties disappear and he finds himself alone facing an impassive reality.
" …he must have felt he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too
long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and
shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely
created grass."
