This is the first in-depth examination and presentation of the Atheneum’s American modernist works on paper. Beginning with the Ashcan school, including works by John Sloan and William Glackens, the exhibition traces the emergence of American modernism with John Marin and Georgia O’Keeffe concluding with strong examples of postwar realism, with works by Ellsworth Kelly and Andrew Wyeth. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see paintings by Edward Hopper depicting scenes of Maine in the state. In the News: |
