American Art in The Columbus Museum Painting, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts
Edited by Charles T. Butler
America’s story is told in many ways, not least in the artworks that reveal the country’s heart and soul. This volume is a unique retelling of that story, with a southern perspective as its recurring theme. This publication celebrates the museum’s 50th anniversary with a selection of 101 works representing a remarkable collection. Here are paintings, sculptures, ceramic vessels, silver works, and furniture created by notable artists from the colonial era to postmodern times. Influences from earlier centuries and instant places resonate, but the leitmotif is the evolution of art that is truly American. Readers will recognize well-known artists such as William Merritt Chase, Eastman Johnson, and John Henry Twachtman, as well as those whose style and aesthetics reflect a modernist search for individual expression, such as William Glackens, Lee Krasner, and Robert Motherwell. Charles T. Butler is the director at The Columbus Museum in Columbus, Georgia.
