Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946–1962 delves into the various circles of American artists who made France their home during the post-World War II era, and investigates the academies where many studied, the spaces where their work was exhibited, their interactions with European artists, and the overarching issue of what it meant to be an American abroad.
Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School celebrates a shared reverence for nature while engaging crucial questions about land dispossession and its reclamation by Indigenous peoples and nations and exploring the relationship between Indigenous art and American art history, placing landscape paintings by the renowned contemporary Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick in conversation with highlights from New-York Historical Society’s collection of 19th-century Hudson River School paintings.
Featuring works from the museum’s collection, Figure/Ground examines the interconnection between individuals and their environments, offering a multifaceted view of the human experience in relation to the spaces we inhabit. The varied scenes, from urban landscapes to pastoral countrysides, invite narrative and prompt reflection on the ways we relate to our own environments.
