Heroic America: James Daugherty's Murals from the 1930's

James Daugherty was a distinguished American artist renowned for his many illustrated books, murals, and paintings. This exhibition marked the first presentation of Daugherty's work as a mural painter. One of the goals of this exhibition was to alter the existing assumption that Daugherty produced relatively few murals during his life and that his participation in the American mural movement of the 1930s was therefore of little consequence.

There are works that appeared in this exhibition that were loans to the Loeb and therefore do not appear on this website.
