This exhibition features over thirty examples of American impressionist and realist pastels, drawings, and paintings by some of the leading artists active at the turn of the twentieth century, including Cecilia Beaux, Frank W. Benson, Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Robert Henri, Lila Cabot Perry, John Singer Sargent, Everett Shinn, John Sloan, John Henry Twachtman, and J. Alden Weir. Collected over twenty-five years by Jack Huber, Dartmouth Class of 1963, and his wife, Russell, these works reveal a range of responses to the dramatic cultural and artistic developments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—from the brilliant colors and broad handling of the impressionists, to the grit and verve of the urban realists. The predominant aesthetic in this collection, however, is the period taste for refinement and tranquility as seen in serene landscapes, poetic still lifes, and especially, images of elegant women in repose.
