The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is honored to present the very first public exhibition of artwork from collectors Mark and Carol Moseman. Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era: Artwork from the Moseman Collection of Agrarian Art features a selection of 60 paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting the people, places, and daily activities of the 1850s to the 1940s. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, April 17 to Sunday, June 6, 2021.
Mark and Carol Moseman, from David City, Nebraska, organized their collection to reveal epic change in agrarian life from homesteading in the1850s, evolving into an exodus from the land in the1940s. Artwork included in the Moseman Collection influenced both immigrant and American pioneers seeking liberty and an agrarian democracy, longing for a “Jeffersonian Ideal.” Agrarian Spirt in the Homestead Era features major European and North American artists alike, including Jean-Francois Millet, Diego Rivera, John Steuart Curry, Winslow Homer, and Harvey Dunn.
About AKMA: A work of art itself, the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art houses one of the finest collections of American Art from the 18th century to the present. The former William Albrecht home provides the perfect backdrop for works by pioneering artists including Mary Cassatt, Thomas Hart Benton, Gilbert Stuart and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. A wide variety of special programs complement the museum’s collection, including temporary exhibitions, art classes, gallery talks, and special events.
Financial support for this exhibition was provided by the Missouri Arts Council and the St. Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau.
