An illustrated catalogue is available.

The Michener Art Museum is presenting, for the first time in more than 15 years, a retrospective of work by modernist painter Elsie Driggs (1898-1992). Including 62 works that span the artist's career, the show will include Driggs' watercolors, pastels, collages, paintings, and mixed-media pieces. Viewing art as a process of discovery, Driggs was constantly experimenting with new materials, techniques, subject matter, and ideas. Intrigued by the awesome industrial and urban forces that were transforming the American landscape during the 1920s and by the Old Masters' principles of composition that imparted structure, order, and simplicity, she described her work as seeking to capture qualities of both "the quick and the classical."
