JULY 2018

COMPILED BY PAMELA A. KEENE

Master works come to Georgia Museum of Art

GEORGIA MUSEUM OF ART

aintings and works on paper by famed American artists John Singer
Sargent, Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth are on display at the
Georgia Museum of Art in Athens through Aug. 5. A Legacy of
Giving: C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry features 14 works by
these and other artists donated by the couple to the museum last year.
"These paintings are now part of our permanent collection,
thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Terry and her late husband," says
Hillary Brown, director of communications at the Georgia Museum of
Art. "We are so pleased to be able to share them with the community.
Now people can view these classic works face-to-face instead of just
seeing them in books."
After the exhibition closes, the oil paintings will be exhibited in
the museum's permanent collection wing. The works on paper and
pastels will cycle in and out of the museum's exhibit space.
