Following the 1952 opening of the
Frye Art Museum, Director Walter S. Greathouse, began acquiring works by
American artists. His widow and successor, Kay Greathouse, continued and
expanded upon the collection of important oil paintings, watercolors, and
drawings done by Americans ranging from colonial painter John Singleton
Copley to twentieth century artists such as Reginald Marsh and Grant Wood.
The collection continues to grow through gift and purchase.
