Nature & Spirit: American Art of the 19th and 20th Centuries
Artists help shape our concept of what we see as beautiful and inspiring about nature. This exhibition will feature 25 paintings, sculptures, ceramics and other decorative arts of the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. The selections will offer a historical overview of the engagement of leading American artists with the landscape and show some of the ways in which evolving ideas about nature are expressed in art.
