On Display October 2010-February 2011 Many of the stars of the Arkell Museum's remarkable collection of American paintings are featured in this exhibition. The exhibition showcases the rich variety of America's landscape from a western landscape of El Capitan by Albert Bierstadt, to Winslow Homer's dramatic crashing waves on the coast of Maine. Portraits in the exhibition include George Washington by Gilbert Stuart and everyday folk by Thomas Hart Benton. A glimpse at how American's spent their leisure time in the mid 20th century can be seen in The Sand Lot Ball Game by Paul Sample, and in circus scenes by Jon Corbino and Ogden Pleisner. The title of the exhibition comes from Gilbert Stuart who stated: "Paint what you see and look with your own eyes." Visitors will discover how realist artists' interpretation of "paint what you see" changed through the decades.
