Author Description

With 65 paintings drawn from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exhibition chronicles the development of American still-life painting, from 1915 to 1995. Many prominent artists, including Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jim Dine, Franz Kline, and Marsden Hartley, have incorporated unconventional iconography, subject matter, and painting techniques into the genre, enriching it with layers of meaning previously unavailable to earlier artists. The exhibition is organized by the AFA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
