Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art Announces Work by Leading Landscape, Pop Artists
May 26, 2010 – 9:05 am
BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 26, 2010 – Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has announced two distinctive contemporary works. Enassamishhinjijweian (2009), a tour-de-force landscape by Tom Uttech, builds on the collection’s strength in American landscapes, supplementing Asher B. Durand’s Kindred Spirits, Thomas Moran’s Autumn Landscape and Marsden Hartley’s Hall of the Mountain King, among other works. The second announced painting is Wayne Thiebaud’s Supine Woman (1963), a psychologically ambiguous portrait of a tense, prone woman. This work joins the museum’s growing body of works representing memorable female figures, ranging from the confident gaze of Mrs. Theodore Atkinson, Jr. in an early portrait by John Singleton Copley to the jaunty brio of Norman Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter.
