A Look to America’s Past
December is the last month that two of the Nelson-Atkins Muesum of Art’s fabulous exhibitions will be on view. Don’t miss your chance to view George Ault and 1940s America and The Prints of Romare Bearden. As American struggled with the effects of World War II, artists like George Ault were documenting the anxiety felt by the nation. This exhibition features the work of 23 American artists working during the war, and opens a window into the past. Another important American artists of the 20th century was Romare Bearden. A collection of his prints, which explore the artist’s experience as an African American during the mid to late 1900s, will be on view until the end of the month. One ticket will grant visitors access to both of these exhibitions. For more information, visit www.nelson-atkins.org.
