May 3 – July 14, 2024
The Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings from the estate of midwestern artist,
Joanne Grossmann (1930-2017).
Strong in visual storytelling, the works in this exhibition feature compelling scenes rich with emotion and nostalgia while
hinting at a quality of suspense. The ambiguous spaces in the paintings dated, 1969 to 2010, are inhabited by figures seemingly isolated in time and context. They reveal themes of emotional distance that are both engaging and disquieting in their fictional settings.
The paintings of Joanne Grossmann won the artist much acclaim and many awards in her native Ohio including recognition from the Toledo Federation of Art Societies and the Butler Institute of American Art.
The exhibition will open on Friday, May 3, and continue through Sunday, July 14, 2024.
