"Shaping Post-War American Landscape" is the third of a series of exhibitions that will focus on The Center of Figurative Paintings collection of Post-War American Painting. 

The Center for Figurative Painting was formed to provide public exhibition and display of Post-War American Representational painting. Its sole ambition is an effort to further the appreciation, study and enjoyment of this genre among the general public, artists and educators alike. Post-War American Representational painting, often overshadowed by other Post-War American art movements, is an important art movement in its own right and deserves a museum dedicated to its display and further study. The Artists represented in the collection are different, yet they all have fulfilled the accomplishment of our greatest painters throughout history; which is to successfully incorporate modern vocabulary into a timeless language. These Artists, regardless of the changing fashions of our times, consistently upheld their own personal standards and ambitions.    view less
