SUMMARY:Celebrating America’s 250th: American Art Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Spanning nearly 250 years of artistic expression\, the American art galleries explore how artists have interpreted the nation’s history\, culture\, and identity from the early republic to the present day. Featuring artworks from the museum’s permanent collection—including works by Thomas Hart Benton\, Milton Avery\, Lilla Cabot Perry\, Claes Oldenburg\, and other influential artists—these galleries reveal the many ways artists have responded to the American experience. \n\n\n\nThe presentation is further enriched by important loans from institutions including the Toledo Museum of Art\, the Art Bridges Foundation\, and the DeMell Jacobsen Foundation. \n\n\n\nAs the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, these galleries offer an opportunity to reflect on the evolving story of American art. Across generations\, artists have documented the people\, places\, and ideas that have shaped the nation while also questioning and expanding the narratives that define it. \n\n\n\nOrganized into thematic sections\, the galleries examine how artists have depicted the American experience in all its complexity. From early portraiture and sweeping landscapes to the bold experiments of modern and contemporary art\, the works on view reveal how artistic styles\, ideas\, and perspectives have evolved over time.

SUMMARY:We the Readers - Blood Meridian
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy\, published 1985. \n\n\n\nWidely considered one of the finest novels by a living writer\, Blood Meridian is an epic tale of the violence and corruption that attended America’s westward expansion\, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the “Wild West.” Its wounded hero\, the Kid\, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean\, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang\, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden\, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s\, Blood Meridian represents a genius vision of the historical West\, one whose stature has only grown in the years since its publication.
