Cultivating America: Visions of the Landscape in Twentieth-Century Prints
American life, as experienced through the land, is the focus
of this exhibition, located in the John Howett Works on Paper Study Room.
Twenty-six works dating from 1928 to 1946 by eighteen artists will be on
display. Their individual visions of the American landscape range in tone
from the nostalgic to the heroic and celebratory to a grim realism. Each of
the artists in this exhibition viewed the landscape as a key to the American
character, a source of identity and an apt metaphor for the people who lived
closely tied to it.

of the Nile features some of the most significant archaeological
treasures ever found in Africa. This monumental exhibition, consisting of

ancient Nubia, the extraordinary African civilization that has often been
overshadowed by ancient Egypt. The exhibition highlights not only some of

Picturing Health: Norman
Rockwell and the Art of Illustration
Organized by
the Norman Rockwell Museum, this exhibit features original paintings by
Norman Rockwell that inspired Americans to view themselves and their
physicians with optimism, and presented the notion that health is affected
as much by our emotional lives as by our physical well–being. The
outstanding Rockwell paintings explore the doctor/patient relationship and
the importance of physical fitness, health and healing across the
generations. They are accompanied by original works exploring similar themes
of health and well-being by twenty of today’s most prominent visual artists,
including Georgia-based illustrators.
