More on the event: Professor Wanda Corn has assembled, in tandem with TAM curator Patricia McDonnell, a stellar exhibit of American paintings and photographs featuring such luminaries as Georgia O'Keefe, Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth, John Marin, Arthur Dove, Paul Strand, photographer Alfred Stieglitz and others. The exhibit, which runs through May 21, reflects the scholarship and passions of Prof. Corn, and draws from her acclaimed 1999 book by the same (exhibit) name. Seattle Post-Intelligencer art critic Regina Hackett had high praise for the exhibit, calling it "a heady brew" of styles and interpretations of the American experience, a collection of works of "rigorous beauty and universal appeal." Hackett said the American artists featured in the exhibit are to Americans "what the impressionists are to France."
