American Landscapes from the Paine Art
Center & Arboretum
August 20 - October 8, 2000
The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is pleased to announce a major exhibition
of American oil paintings, watercolors, etchings and lithographs from the
Paine Art Center & Arboretum in Oskosh, Wisconsin. The exhibit features
highlights of a collection formed in the mid-1920s by Nathan and Jessie
Kimberly Paine, founders of the Paine Art Center & Arboretum. This exciting
collection exhibits a wide-ranging perspective on mid-19th to early 20th
century American interpretations of the landscape, and it also offers insight
into an American couple's passion for collecting works of art. (left:

This
stylistically eclectic exhibition of forty-seven works celebrates nature
in its varying moods and presents over a century of Realist, Tonalist and
Impressionist paintings and works on paper. Included are examples from the
Hudson River School of landscape painting influenced by the works of James
McDougal Hart, the misty landscapes of George
Inness, the sunlit scenes of Maurice
Braun, the visionary canvases of Ralph
Albert Blakelock, the impasto pigments of John
Edward Costigan; the Manifest Destiny representations of Thomas Moran the Tonalism of J.
Francis Murphy, the Realism of Winslow
Homer, and the Midwestern images of Grant
Wood. (left: George Inness: A Spring Meadow Near Montclair,
1892, oil on canvas)
Although the Paine Art Center's collection and this exhibition
of American landscapes represents an entire century and several historical
eras, one current flows through all the works -- the ongoing relationship
between nature and the individual artist.
The exhibition is sponsored by AmSouth Bank, J. C. Bradford
& Co. Foundation, Sanderson Farms, Mr. & Mrs. Greg Rustin.
