About the Exhibition
This exhibition explores Anderson (1876-1941) and his connection to artists of the American scene during the 1920’s and 1930’s. It will measure the influence of modern American art on Anderson’s work and, in turn, his influence upon the artists with whom he associated and whose works he collected. This exhibit will include letters, biographical overviews, specific works from Anderson’s art collection and other public and private collections across the country.
