 "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb..."
Edward Hicks's Peaceable Kingdom paintings may be the most widely recognized icons of American folk art. One of the best--a special loan from the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York--is now on view in the Mary Ellen Bowen Gallery through December. Inspired by a Biblical passage foretelling an ideal world, it shows a virtual menagerie of often predatory animals contentedly coexisting. Discover a masterpiece of American folk art, in Princeton for a limited time.

 Midcentury
On view through February 20
Frantz Gallery
In the 1940s and 1950s the art object, whether abstract or figural, began to reflect emerging views of nature as a primal force and of the artist as a living lens, through whom aspects of the larger universe (harmony, conflict, complexity) came into focus. This two-part exhibition of photographs, paintings, prints, drawings, and artists' books showcases an international roster of midcentury stars, including Milton Avery, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Lotte Jacobi, and Loren MacIver.
