In a New Light is the first permanent collection catalogue in the Palmer Museum of Art’s fifty-two-year history. Made possible by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation, this multi-author book studies and celebrates the institution’s most significant collection area, American art. The fully illustrated publication features short essays on 155 historically and aesthetically important paintings written by 66 art historians and curators from the United States and England. Readers can expect new scholarship on paintings by artists Georgia O’Keeffe, William Trost Richards, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Benjamin West, Marguerite Zorach, and many more. The release of In a New Light coincides with the opening of the Palmer Museum’s new seventy-three-thousand-square-foot building designed by Allied Works.
Adam M. Thomas is Curator of American Art at the Palmer Museum of Art and Affiliate Assistant Professor of Art History at Penn State.
