Art, Nature and the American City features ninety paintings and drawings by more than 50 artists. The exhibition represents major American art movements in a 115-year period, from the Hudson River School’s romantic landscapes and the American Impressionists' sun-drenched scences to the Precisionists' abstract cityscapes and the Ashcan School’s gritty urban scenes.
Among the artists are: Henry Boese, Alfred Thompson Bricher, Theodore Earl Butler, William Glackens, Philip Leslie Hale, Ernest Lawson, Hayley Lever, Edith Mitchill Prellwitz, John Henry Twachtman and Alexander Helwig Wyant. Several American artists that are not easily classified, such as Gershon Benjamin and James Henry Daugherty, are also represented. Benjamin's etheral abstractions of urban and rural scenes are reminiscent of Milton Avery's work, while Daughtery applied Synchromist theories to landscapes as well as non-objective paintings.
