The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection

Designed as a parallel exhibition to “Coming Home: American Paintings, 1930 – 1950, from the Schoen Collection,” which the Georgia Museum of Art organized with the Mobile Museum of Art in 2003, “The American Scene on Paper” includes works by many of the same artists and addresses much of the same subject matter, from portrayals of the plight of the American farm laborer to the development of industry and the growth of the urban environment. Smaller versions of this exhibition traveled to the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, South Carolina, and to the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Georgia, in 2009. All 153 works featured in the companion exhibition catalogue, published by the museum, were on view for the first time in this exhibition.
