🚨 New Acquisition Alert! Gavin Benjamin's "Past Imperfect #1" (2023) is the newest work in the Museum's permanent collection. It joins three other works by the artist that were on view at The Westmoreland in 2022–2023.

You can see "Past Imperfect #1" on view at the Museum today and tomorrow (May 30 & 31) in the special pop-up exhibition "Gavin Benjamin: Gilded Glamour." https://ow.ly/27PQ50Z4X6N

A multidisciplinary artist, Benjamin merges photography, painting, and design to explore questions of identity, race, luxury, and belonging. Drawing inspiration from art history, fashion, and pop culture, his richly layered portraits challenge how beauty and power are portrayed in contemporary society.

In Stuart Davis's "Anchors" (1930), minimal pops of color and abstract shapes allude to a coastal port scene. A pioneer of American Modernism, Davis captures a familiar place he visited annually for nearly 20 years--Gloucester, MA--through an experimental, Cubist-inspired lens. Rather than literal depiction, Davis translates the rhythms and energy of the American scene into bold color and fractured form.

On view through Jan. 18, 2027, as part of the exhibition "Shaping the American Landscape," which presents exceptional loans from The American Art Collection of J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox and the National Academy of Design in dialogue with works from The Westmoreland’s collection.
