“Contemporary American Painting [1945]” showcases paintings, prints, and drawings by American artists from 1900-1950, and includes art works from permanent collections at both Carleton College and Gustavus Adolphus College.
Carleton art students helped to curate the exhibit, which recreates a similar retrospective from 1945. That year, the Encyclopedia Britannica presented a retrospective of contemporary American painting drawn from its art collection. Paintings by over 100 well-respected artists toured the United States, giving large numbers of everyday Americans access to the works.
“Contemporary American Painting [1945]” attempts to recapture the essence of that monumental tour with an exhibition of paintings, drawings, and prints.
The Perlman Teaching Museum is located in the Weitz Center for Creativity at Carleton College, located at 320 Third Street in Northfield. Admission is free. Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday-Friday; and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday-Sunday. For more information, including disability accommodations, call (507) 222-4342.
