Collection Highlight: Paintings

The paintings in the Art Museum’s collection encompass every genre of the medium — landscapes, portraits, history, still lives, abstraction — and represent major artistic movements in the United States and abroad from the nineteenth century to today. The painting collection can take you to the American landscapes of Albert Bierstadt, the sophisticated abstractions of Romare Bearden. It can also take you to the dynamic experiments of Jean Metzinger and the intricate compositions of Maude Kerns who encapsulated the history of painting and writing its next chapter.
