American Moderns, 1910-1960: From O’Keeffe to Rockwell, explores a wide variety of American art from the first half of the twentieth century. The exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art 401 Harrison Street Syracuse, New York 13202 Tel (315) 474 6064, February 16 — May 12, 2013, consists of 53 paintings and four sculptures by such prominent artists as Georgia O’Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Milton Avery, Stuart Davis and Arthur Dove. Drastic social, political and economical changes during this time period challenged artists to define what could be considered “modern” from a wide variety of definitions. From abstraction and cityscapes to realism and nature, these works selected from the Brooklyn Museum’s permanent collection offer a new perspective on American modern art.
To complement American Moderns, 1910-1960: From O’Keeffe to Rockwell, the Everson, in the exhibition 20th-Century American Art from the Permanent Collection, February 16, 2013 - September 22, 2013 highlights works by American modern artists from the permanent collection.
