Based on Motomasa's Japanese musical drama Sumidagawa and translated to a Christian parable by librettist William Plomer, Curlew River tells the tale of a woman searching for her missing son. Premiered in 1937 and inspired by Irish playwright John Millington Synge's tragedy of the same name, Riders to the Sea examines an elderly woman's fears of losing her remaining sea-faring sons

While these designs are globally recognizable, this exhibition brings to light Vultaggio’s private art practice for the first time. The exhibition includes approximately 30 works focusing on the male and female nude, in various poses. All are pastel and charcoal on paper.
