Chimneys and Towers: Charles Demuth's Late Paintings of Lancaster
This exhibition examines a key group of paintings from the late career of Charles Demuth (1883–1935), one of America’s preeminent twentieth-century modernist painters. The show places his works within the larger cultural context of the American avant-garde.
The project takes as its centerpiece the Amon Carter Museum’s masterwork Chimney and Water Tower (1931), one of a series of paintings depicting industrial sites in the artist’s hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Chimneys and Towers: Charles Demuth’s Late Paintings of Lancaster is organized by the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. The exhibition and the accompanying publication have been made possible in part by grants from The Henry Luce Foundation and The National Endowment for the Arts.
