The American landscape genre is rich in tradition and innovation. Drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, Grounded explores facets of this practice in light of the contention that “culture is never more in evidence than when nature is at hand.”

About
The American landscape genre is rich in tradition and innovation. Drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, Grounded explores facets of this practice in light of the contention that “culture is never more in evidence than when nature is at hand.” From Robert Henri, to Marsden Hartley, to Jack Tworkov, the artists of this exhibition each test cultural expectations of landscape painting.
