This exhibition features a selection of 20 paintings from the private collection of Jeanne and Rex Sinquefield, a St. Louis couple devoted to art of the American Midwest made between the World Wars. With distinctive tastes and discerning eyes, the Sinquefields have built an extraordinary collection that conveys the importance of this region in the national story of American art.

The exhibition includes work by the famed Regionalists Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood, as well as paintings by John Atherton, Joe Jones, and John Rogers Cox, who, like their more celebrated colleagues, interpreted the reality of the heartland with passion, vigor, and poignancy. Though none of the artists represented in No Place Like Home were part of a coordinated movement, they used their unique styles to interpret their shared roots in the Midwest—projecting a genuine love of the land and respect for the people who worked it through their depiction of everyday life.
