American Art in the Shadow of World War I

May 17 - August 7, 2016 - This exhibition examines a diverse group of eighteen photographs and works on paper against the backdrop of the war. American Art in the Shadow of World War I surveys the museum’s holdings from the years leading up to, during, and immediately following the so-called Great War. Whether part of the debate about U.S. intervention or as combatants themselves, for example, the conflict touched American artists in a variety of ways.
