Description: From the Inside Flap
In 1948, the Georgia Museum of Art opened to the public with two galleries in the basement of the University of Georgia's old library and a core collection of one hundred American paintings carefully assembled by founder Alfred Heber Holbrook. The museum quickly evolved into a cultural and academic institution of international repute and today occupies a new, state-of-the-art facility with nine galleries and extensive educational spaces. To celebrate the museum's first half-century, curator of paintings Donald D. Keyes has organized Before 1948: American Paintings in Georgia Collections, a collection of fifty paintings created before 1948 from public and private collections throughout the state. This vivid collection spans three centuries of artistic endeavor in America, from eighteenth-century colonial portraiture through Cubism and the early stages of Abstract Impressionism. Catalogue entries by Heidi Domescik and Donald Keyes provide insight on the paintings and the artists. These works pay tribute to Alfred Holbrook's spirit of collecting as well as to the rise of cultural awareness and support throughout the state over the past fifty years. This lavishly illustrated catalogue also features a poignant introduction by award-winning novelist Terry Kay, author of To Dance With the White Dog. Kay, a native of northeast Georgia, describes the social and cultural climate of the rural South immediately following World War II as the agrarian society found its world changed by new technology, shifting economics, and the exodus to the cities. These changes are what shaped Georgia into one of the fastest-growing states of the second half of the twentieth century; Kay provides a nostalgic look back at what, for better or worse, was left behind in the march of progress.
