Landscape and Figuration from the Collection will feature exemplar twentieth century works from the permanent collection ranging from impressionism to modernism. Works from the early part of the century will include several of the Museum’s popular impressionist paintings, among them The Old Post Office (c. 1922–23) by Joseph Kleitsch and Golden Morrow (1931) by Granville Redmond. The exhibition will also feature works by artists who aligned themselves with a more modernist approach in both landscape and figurative works. Included will be Day’s End (1947) by Francis de Erdely and Bastions of the Painted Desert (c. 1910) by Fernand Lungren. There will also be several paintings on view that have not been exhibited in many years, including signature works by McClelland Barclay, Conrad Buff, Leland Curtis, Phil Dike, Elsie Palmer Payne, Lee Randolph, Anna Katharine Skeele, and Elmer Wachtel.
