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.

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.
