In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919–1946
Opening reception 
Thursday, September 4, 5:00-7:00PM
Main Gallery

The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives, their landscapes and their dreams. In the American Grain tells this story through artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the 91ÉçÇø Art Museum and Libraries, the and the Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured here. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough, professor of art history.

Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.
