Art in Atlanta

In the early twentieth century, the Atlanta College of Art fostered the growth of contemporary art in Atlanta. The High Museum’s Southeastern Annual Exhibition advanced the development of contemporary art in the 1940s through the 1960s, and purchases from the exhibition helped build the Museum’s fledgling art collection. These and other aspects of Atlanta’s visual culture are reflected in the Museum’s growing collection of paintings and drawings by Atlanta-based artists.

Civil and Human Rights In Contemporary Art

Chilean-born artist Alfredo Jaar’s The Fire Next Time alludes to the title of James Baldwin’s 1963 book, which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement. The installation incorporates fragmented documentary images of the era, including iconic scenes from the 1963 Birmingham freedom campaign.

Contemporary Drawings

In addition to serving as a preliminary or provisional step in completing a finished artwork, drawing has become a way for contemporary artists to process and communicate information. Often more intimate than other kinds of art in both scale and the physical marks they contain, contemporary drawings frequently challenge established notions of what a drawing looks like and its proximity to the “hand” of the artist.
