American Scene: Selections from the Permanent Collection of American Art features works from American masters from the first half of the twentieth century such as Charles Burchfield, Bernice Abbott, Thomas Hart Benton and Norman Rockwell. Minnie Deschamps, Eugene Thomason and many other regional artists will also be on view. All media that defined early, modern American art will be represented: paintings, prints, photographs and unique works on paper. American Scene: Selections from the Permanent Collection of American Art will explore many areas that defined the American Scene Era: Social Realism, Regionalism and works created under federal programs such as the WPA. This will be the first exhibition focusing on this genre drawn from The Mint Museum's permanent collection of American Art in more than15 years.
