Horace Pippin: From War to PeaceOngoing

Injured during World War I, Horace Pippin turned to painting to help mend his body and spirit. In the process, he created works of great power and poignancy and distinguished himself as one of the most original artists of his generation. This gathering of six paintings highlights Pippin’s pursuit of a range of themes, from racial violence and the alienation of war to the serene beauty of his home in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Designs for Different FuturesThrough March 8

“The Art Museum mounts ambitious design shows like this in its main exhibition space maybe once a decade — or less — so this is an occasion.” – Thomas Hine, Philadelphia Inquirer

Journey through an electrifying landscape of designs that respond to the future in surprising, ingenious, and occasionally unsettling ways. From daring flights of imagination to products already on the market, the works on view explore what lies ahead for the earth and its inhabitants — through the interplay of design, art, science, and technology. Want to talk about what you saw, or just read and relax? Drop by the Futures Therapy Lab at the end of the exhibition.

Please see calendar for tours and other related events.
