September 11 - October 31
Since first landfall, the American landscape has been a great inspiration to those who would be so inclined to recognize its beauty. Novelists, poets, painters, and many others have found inspiration in "the land of the free and the home of the brave," and succombed to the "purple mountains majesties" and the "oceans, white with foam."
Now, as the area welcomes the annual sweep of color over the landscape, Newman Galleries will put on an exhibition to celebrate not only the changing seasons, but also the changing artistic interpretation of the beauty that is America. This exhibit, the Ever-Changing American Landscape, will focus on paintings done between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, painted by American artists who drew inspiration from the American splendor.
