Object Lessons: American Still-Life Painting in the Nineteenth Century

Exhibition Website

Sep 4 2018 - Dec 16 2018

Palmer Museum of Art

State College, PA

Still-life painting was a popular subject for many nineteenth-century American artists. The holdings of the Palmer will be complemented by rarely seen loans from private collectors to explore how flowers, fruit, and simple household objects have transfixed and beguiled viewers from the nineteenth century to the present day. The exhibition features masters of the genre, including William Michael Harnett, John Frederick Peto, and Severin Roesen.
