There's Spring in the Air at the Art Museum

The richly exhuberant paintings of Katherine Porter have taken center stage this month at the Museum of Art. Porter, an Iowa native who has created abstract views of places from Maine and Nova Scotia to the Southwestern United States. Her paintings are energetic and deeply colorful. The exhibition, Katherine Porter: Celestial Electric Set, continues through June 1, accompanied by a full-color publication that also features the 2008 Emrys Journal.

The watercolors of Andrew Wyeth provide the pivotal focus for a new exhibition, Masters of Watercolor: Andrew Wyeth and His Contemporaries. Works from the Museum's Wyeth collection inform those of other realist painters, including Hubert Shuptrine, Henry Casselli, and Mary Whyte. The installation also includes historical examples by artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Edward Hopper, and Charles Burchfield.

Experience the paintings of Dr. David C. Driskell, one of the pre-eminent figures in twentieth century African-American art. The Driskell exhibition features works from throughout his career. It's on view through June 15.

The Museum of art recently acquired groundbreaking historic landscapes by Joshua Shaw, including what is believed to be the first painting of Greenville’s birthplace on the Reedy River.

On April 10, the Museum of Art opened a new exhibition of work by Greenville artist Paul Yanko. Yanko's intensely structured and tactile paintings will be on view through June 1.
