Savor the opportunity to view the finest watercolors, pastels, and drawings by leading avant-garde American artists of the early 20th century. This February, these rarely seen artworks from America’s oldest public art museum will travel to the Carter. Artists represented include Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Andrew Wyeth.

Complementing the Carter’s own modernist holdings, American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art provides a groundbreaking new look at the varied directions pursued by modern American artists from 1910 to 1960. Capturing the restless, spontaneous, and confident American spirit, the exhibition examines progressive art movements such as Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Neo-Romanticism.
