鈥淏loom Where You鈥檙e Planted: The Collection of Deen Day Sanders鈥 features
highlights from one of the most important Georgia-based collections of American
art and includes furniture and porcelain as well as paintings by artists
including
Severin Roesen,
Thomas Sully,
Jasper Francis Cropsey,
Thomas Moran,
John G. Brown,
John Singer Sargent,
Winslow Homer,
Mary Cassatt,
Childe Hassam
and
Ernest Lawson. The exhibition represents a unique opportunity to see this
exceptional collection. The works date from the 19th through the early 20th
century and represent the full range of interests within American art during
that time. The furniture emphasizes neoclassical objects with restrained forms
and attenuated lines from urban American style centers, including New York. It
also makes an elegant counterpoint to porcelain from prominent American and
European factories, including Tucker (Philadelphia) and
Jacob Petit (Limoges and
Paris). Mrs. Sanders has been a long-time supporter of the University of
Georgia, in particular the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and we are pleased
to share her impeccable collection with the Athens community and beyond.
