America's Epic Treasures featuring Preternatural by Michael Scott 现在打开

Vibrant colors and skillful execution create dynamic textures and compositions that draw you into the artwork, evoking a greater appreciation for the magic and mystery of nature. Scott’s onsite field studies included in the exhibition provide a look into the artist’s process.
“斯科特的画作提供了一个自然世界, the human world and the world of the spirit or the soul can commingle,马林·威尔逊-鲍威尔说, 艺术史学家和作家. “Together they comprise an arena that oscillates between what is there and what is not there, 艺术家带给它什么，观众带给它什么.”
Alongside Scott’s works are a dozen pieces from CMC’s own collections, 展示当地风景的艺术家包括鲁道夫·楚迪, 约翰·卡斯帕·怀尔德, 威廉·路易斯·桑塔格和罗伯特·S.

Scott’s paintings are in numerous private and corporate collections, 以及博物馆的永久收藏 巴特勒美国艺术学院 in Youngstown, Ohio; the 南德克萨斯艺术博物馆 在科珀斯克里斯蒂; 辛辛那提艺术博物馆; 新奥尔良美术馆; Tia组 在新墨西哥州的圣达菲; 美国西部奥特里博物馆 in Los Angeles; Tyson Collection of Contemporary Art in Springdale, Arkansas; 南俄亥俄艺术博物馆 在朴茨茅斯; 亨特美国艺术博物馆 在田纳西州的查塔努加; 惠特尼西部艺术博物馆 at the Buffalo Bill Center for the West in Cody, Wyoming; and the 速度艺术博物馆 在肯塔基州的路易斯维尔.
