City Prints: from the Permanent Collection
America of the 19th century was admired for its expanse of land and open space. By the dawn of the 20th century, however, America had a new crown jewel - the city. The modern city, with its new modes of transportation, bustling urban lifestyle, increasing shipment of product, and growing vertical skyline provided an environment that inspired American and European artists. The works in this show offer a glimpse into a time of rapid change and exciting progress.

Artists in the Exhibition
John Taylor Arms, Sir Frank Brangwyn, Felix Buhot, Kerr Eby, Gordon Grant, Frederick Landseer Griggs, Childe Hassam, Stanley Hayter, Harry Hermy, Morris Henry Hobbs, Armin Landeck, Claire Leighton, Martin Lewis, Charles Locke, John Marin, Reginald Marsh, Joseph Pennell, Lynd Ward, Reynold H.
