One Hundred American Paintings (Paperback)

One Hundred American Paintings (Paperback)This catalogue of the Georgia Museum of Arts permanent collection is both a tribute to Alfred Heber Holbrook, the museum s founder, and a record of his legacy, which began in 1945 when he gave one hundred works of American art to the people of Georgia through its flagship university. These works formed the foundation of the museum s current collection of more than 8,000 art objects. Published to coincide with the museum s grand reopening in January
