Earlier this summer, Penn Stateâs Palmer Museum of Art acquired a new exhibition of artwork accentuated with fine brush strokes, an emphasis on natural light and depictions of summertime â a display of American Impressionism.
âSummer Light: American Impressionist Paintings from the Thomas Clark Collectionâ opened at the end of May and is on display through Aug. 29.
Erin Coe, director of the museum and associate clinical professor of art history, said via email she is âexcitedâ to showcase the exhibition throughout the summer.
It features 24 paintings on loan from the art collector, Clark, who promised his collection of pre-1940 American Impressionist paintings to the Palmer Museum as a bequest, according to Coe.
