 Maurice B. Prendergast, "The Grove," c. 1918–23, Oil on canvas, 15 1/4 x 20 3/16 in. (38.7 x 51.3 cm), Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection, 1992.63 Photography courtesy Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago To many, modern art means post-1940s abstraction.

The Terra Foundation for American Art, Milwaukee Art Museum and the American Decorative Art 1900 Foundation are convening a FREE two-day, two-city symposium, “What’s Modern about American Art, 1900–1930?” that explores modernism as expressed in American painting and design from 1900 to 1930. Free registration is required. For more information and to register, please visit www.terraamericanart.org/modernism-symposium or call (312) 654-2278. Read the rest of this entry »
