The exhibition is a collaboration between the Muskegon Museum of Art, Flint Institute of Art, Kalamazoo Institute of Art, and the Detroit Institute of Art. The show focuses on American artists from the early 20th  century who sought to represent American art at that time. Further, “Visions of America explores this period of artistic transformation through paintings, drawings, and prints that captured the American experience. Featuring the works of George Bellows, Jerome Myers, Stuart Davis, Guy Pene du Bois, Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent, Guy Wiggins, Peggy Bacon, Alexander Calder, Reginald Marsh, and many others, this exhibition captures the moments in time and life during a historically transformative period in American history.”

Andrew Wyeth: Home Places presents viewers with nearly 50 paintings and drawings that inspired the legendary artist Andrew Wyeth throughout his career.

The exhibition opened on February 4th and will run through July 30th at the Brandywine Museum of Art. The artworks in the exhibition are “drawn exclusively from the nearly 7,000-object Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Collection of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, now managed by the Brandywine. Many of these pieces have never before been exhibited, offering a first glimpse at a significant treasure trove that will shed new light on the collaborative creative process of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth.”
