Exhibition of Modern Art Created in the American South Opens January 26

Southern/Modern features works drawn from public and private collections across the country and is the first comprehensive survey of paintings and works on paper created in the American South from 1913 to 1955. The exhibition focuses on artists such as Carroll Cloar, Aaron Douglas, Caroline Durieux, Will Henry Stevens, Alma Thomas, and others who worked in states below the Mason-Dixon line and as far west as those bordering the Mississippi River. It also includes artists from outside the South as well as Thomas Hart Benton, Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, and others whose works reflect on Southern experiences from a distance.
