American Art – In Preparation
American Art – In Preparation
Admission is free.
A great work of art is often the result of a great deal of preparatory work. Thoughtful planning in the form of preliminary studies plays a vital role in the working methods of many artists. This exhibition highlights various approaches American artists have used to prepare for the creation of paintings, murals, sculpture, prints and decorative arts.
Preparatory studies may aid in the exploration of subject matter from multiple angles or help in the translation of compositions to different scales or media. American Art—In Preparation also presents preparatory work that, although created as a means to an end, is worthy of celebration in its own right.
