The Greenville County Museum of Art in Greenville,
South Carolina, continues its Southern Scene
exhibition through May 6, 2001. Following World
War I, American artists stopped looking to Europe
for inspiration and began painting American themes
in a representational manner. The exhibition explores
this rich epoch of American art, which has been
largely overlooked, and focuses primarily on the
work of Southern-related artists such as Edward
Hopper and Thomas Hart Benton. For more information,
see www.greenvillemuseum.org or call 864-271-7570.
