American Prints from the Dr. Francis R.
Whitehouse Collection
The Maier Museum of Art at Randolph-Macon Woman's College will open
its summer exhibition "American Prints from the Dr. Francis R. Whitehouse
Collection" on May 19, 2000. The exhibition will be on view through
August 13, 2000. These 
American prints have come to the Museum through the
generosity of Dr. Francis R. Whitehouse, a Lynchburg resident, over the
past two decades. Since 1976, Dr. Whitehouse has given over 70 works of
art to the Museum, most of them lithographs and etchings. This particular
installation will feature works by notable American artists active in the
middle twentieth century such as Thomas Hart Benton, Adolf Dehn, Rockwell
Kent, and Grant Wood. The exhibition is one of an on-going series of summer
installations featuring works on paper from the Maier's permanent collection.

The exhibition is made possible by the Sally Oglesby Disharoon
Art Gallery Fund, by an endowment established by the Sarah and Pauline Maier
Scholarship Foundation, Inc., and by R-MWC.
In addition to this special exhibition, selections from
the Maier's extensive collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American
art will be on view in adjacent galleries throughout the summer.
