The Arkell Museum has a remarkable collection of American watercolors and pastels, but due to the fragile nature of these works, they can only be displayed occasionally for short periods of time. This opening exhibition will bring out of safe storage the museum’s finest watercolors by Maurice Prendergast, Edward Hopper, and Reginald Marsh. Pastel landscapes, still-lifes, and portraits by artists such as Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, and Georgia O’Keeffe will also be on display to show how many notable American artists were masters of both pastels and watercolors.
