The Ackland is fortunate to have American paintings on long-term loan from the Terra Foundation for American Art. These paintings are the centerpieces of the three sections of Triple Take: Dialogues with the Terra Collection-in-Residence. Each section of about twenty objects has different curators, who have gathered works from the Ackland that connect in often unexpected ways with the Terra Foundation loans.

This three-part exhibition begins with Lyonel Feininger’s Denstedt (1917), a powerful and expressionistic view of a German village. This painting serves as the starting point for an exploration of the artist’s achievements across his career, curated by Peter Nisbet. Dana Cowen explores themes of looking, the mirror, and privacy through Archibald Motley’s Between Acts (1935). Ammi Phillips’s Girl in a Red Dress (c. 1835) and Robert Henri’s Sylvester (1914) anchor a selection of representations of children chosen by Lauren Turner and Carolyn Allmendinger. This final part of the exhibition explores how knowing or not knowing the names and biographical details of the people depicted can affect our experience of the artworks.
