“A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” Opens February 11th The Society of the Four Arts will display a stunning presentation of American folk art from February 11 through March 26, 2017. Admission is $5. Drawn from the prestigious collection of Barbara L. Gordon, “A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” showcases more than 60 works by some of the most admired 19th-century American artists. Included are rare and very fine portraits by such artists as Ammi Phillips and John Brewster, Jr.; vivid still lifes, allegorical scenes and landscapes, including a mature “Peaceable Kingdom” by Edward Hicks (right); whimsical trade signs and figure and animal sculptures; unique household objects and distinctive examples of furniture from the German American community. In total, they exemplify the breadth of American creative expression during a period of enormous political, social, and cultural change in the United States.

Works by the 20th century’s most influential artists are currently on display in “When Modern Was Contemporary: Selections from the Roy R. Neuberger Collection.” This groundbreaking collection of American modern art illuminates the artistic transformations that took place in the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition will be on display at the Four Arts through January 29, 2017. Admission is $5. Roy R. Neuberger (1903–2010) was a devoted champion of the art of his time, and he acquired works by a remarkable number of modern masters. Included in the exhibition are works by Alexander Calder, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Marsden Hartley, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and numerous others. “When Modern Was Contemporary” surveys the development of modern art in the U.S., from representational modes in the early years of the twentieth century through the Abstract Expressionist revolution at midcentury. By the 1950s, the center of the avantgarde art world had shifted from Paris to New York, and Neuberger’s collection was considered the most important private collection of modern art in the country. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this significant collection while on display at The Society of the Four Arts.
