Drawn from the Frye's Permanent Collection, Open Roads and Bedside Tables focuses on American painting from the early twentieth century, when artists turned away from European academic traditions to develop a homegrown view of the world that surrounded them. Responding to industrialization and a growing population, these artists imaged a country that was no longer an undeveloped colony, nor an unwanted offspring of a grand European vision.
