Frank E. Schoonover: American Visions
and
Gregory Manchess: Above the Timberline

Golden Age illustrator Frank E. Schoonover (1877-1972) created legendary paintings inspired by the belief that artists should live what they paint—an adage often repeated by his noted teacher, illustrator Howard Pyle, and absorbed by his fellow student and friend, N.C. Wyeth. This exhibition will explore the breadth of the artist’s career. A related exhibition focused on the art of contemporary illustrator Gregory Manchess, working in Schoonover’s Golden Age tradition, highlights his lavishly painted novel about the son of a famed polar explorer searching for his father and a lost city buried under snow.

 

 

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
