Redefining the Modern Landscape in Europe and America, ca. 1920–1940

Through January 27, 2008
Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia
Athens, Georgia
(706) 542-4662

A selection of landscapes from the Georgia Museum of Art's permanent collection makes up this exhibition, which focuses on the genre that became somewhat threatened by the rise of abstract art in the early 20th century. Artists working in Europe and the United States during this time continued to represent landscapes by appealing to and transforming past traditions to make new statements. Some of those artists featured in this exhibition include Thomas Hart Benton, Pierre Daura, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Marsden Hartley.
