A Modern Look: Selections from the Permanent Collection

Friday, January 16 - Thursday, March 29, 2026

A Modern Look presents paintings, drawings, and sculpture by modern and late modern artists drawn from the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art’s outstanding permanent collection. While not specifically thematic in nature, the exhibition rather presents a varied cross section of works that represent different styles typically associated with the modern and late modern period, a time in which artists sought to “invent new ways of seeing” in response to a rapidly changing world. Spanning the early 20th century through the postwar decades, the exhibition highlights experimentation, innovation, and the ongoing redefinition of art itself.
