One Hundred American Paintings

This catalogue of the Georgia Museum of Artrs"s permanent collection is both a tribute to Alfred Heber Holbrook, the museumrs"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 museumrs"s current collection of more than 8,000 art objects. Published to coincide with the museumrs"s grand reopening in January 2011 after a 30,000-square-foot expansion, this catalogue features one hundred significant American paintings that, for the first time, will be on continual display in the buildingrs"s new permanent-collection galleries.
