Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, The Ella Gallup Sumner and Mary Catlin Sumner Collection Fund. | American Moderns: Masterworks on Paper from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, 1910-1960 June 24 through September 12, 2010
American Moderns showcases 90 works on paper from the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut, by nationally recognized artists such as Edward Hopper, John Marin, Andrew Wyeth, and Georgia O'Keeffe. 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.
This exhibition has been organized by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut. Made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts as part of American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius and the Henry Luce Foundation.
