Drawing predominantly from the permanent collection at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Knowing Who We Are traces the development of art in the American South, beginning with academic traditions in landscape and portraiture in the 19th century. As trends in American art changed, so too did the practice of artists in the American South. Although closely aligned with the shifting dialogue in American art, art in the American South followed at its own pace – sometimes leading the charge into new territories, while at other times circling back to previously held ground.
The third floor of Goldring Hall illustrates how, with each new development – from early photography, Impressionism, Tonalism, the Arts & Crafts Movement and Symbolism through American Scene Painting, Social Realism and Regionalism – Southern artists responded with a distinct blend of tradition and innovation along with a steadfast awareness of the power of place.
