American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection

About this event

“America’s Painted Horizon” This exhibition is part of “America’s Painted Horizon,” a trio of exhibitions featuring artists who have expanded our view of America and ourselves.

Highlighting the collection of philanthropist and Texas native Charles Butt, American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection features more than 90 works of art by icons such as Thomas Hart Benton, Stuart Davis, Jacob Lawrence, Joan Mitchell, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Andrew Wyeth, and Texas artists Mary Bonner and Everett Gee Jackson. The exhibition recontextualizes the multifold histories of art in the United States by sharing Butt’s perspective on American creativity and presenting selections from his collection to the public for the first time.
