In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919鈥�1946
September 4 to December 6, 2025
The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American
art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration
and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives,
their landscapes and their dreams. In the American Grain tells this story through
artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the Binghamton
University Art Museum and Libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center and the
Art Bridges Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity
of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured
here. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists
themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough,
professor of art history.
Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.
