American Landscapes Opening Reception
The Driskell Center invites you to attend the American Landscapes Exhibition Opening Reception.
The event is virtual and requires registration, which can be found here.
American Landscapes is the first major exhibition at the Driskell Center to juxtapose African American artists with their contemporaries. It presents a comprehensive narrative of the contribution of African American artists to American art canon. The works in this exhibition were selected based on the contribution of the artists to the field of landscape art and are dated from 1850 to 2020. Of the 73 works, over half are selected from the Driskell Center collection, with others borrowed from outside collections and artist studios. Additionally, the exhibition includes a selection of 30 landscape works by Professor Driskell, known for his love and depiction of pine trees, gardens, and landscapes.
