At War! The Changing Face of American War Illustration examined the similarities and differences of both the medium and message of American war imagery from 1913 to 2003.

Dorothea Lange’s Three Mormon Towns

Paul Getty Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College Chicago, and the collection of John and Lolita Dixon.

Carl Bloch: The Master’s Hand
Friday November 12, 2010 – Saturday, May 7, 2011

The other altar painting, Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda has become the museum’s signature piece since it was acquired in September 2001. Additional religious paintings and etchings along with genre, history, portrait and landscape paintings from Danish museums also were included in the exhibition.
