BRISCOE CENTER FOR AMERICAN HISTORY • www.cah.utexas.edu
From Commemoration to Education: Pompeo Coppini's Statue of Jefferson Davis
Commissioned in 1919 by university regent Major George W. Littlefield the statue was envisioned as part of a much larger allegorical memorial, the Littlefield Fountain, intended to honor Texans who died in the Civil War and World War I while also addressing the reconciliation of the northern and southern states between those wars. However, the memorial and its campus setting and cultural context changed significantly over the course of its development. No longer an object of commemoration, the statue was moved in 2015 and now forms part of a new exhibition that explores the statue's history, as well as its significance as both a work of art and evidence of the past.

Frontiers of Impressionism (April 1 - June 25, 2023)
The exhibition highlights over 30 artists, including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, and Max Slevogt, chronicles the emergence of Impressionism in 19th-century France, its subsequent expansion to much of Europe and the United States, and the lasting changes the movement has brought to the art world; approximately half of the works in the exhibition will be on view for the first time in decades.
See a selection of works from the exhibition here: https://www.worcesterart.org/exhibitions/frontiers-of-impressionism/
Watercolors Unboxed (June 10 - September 10, 2023)
50 works, including highlights by Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Rockwell Kent, and John Singer Sargent. The exhibition will also feature drawings by artists lesser known for their work in watercolor and gouache, including Amedeo Modigliani, Gustave Baumann, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Because watercolors are especially susceptible to damage from overexposure, Watercolors Unboxed is a rare opportunity to see some of the most prized works in the Museum’s collection, many of which have not been on display at the Museum since the 1980s.
Fuseli: Rashion, Fetishism, Fantasy (through May 21, 2023)
60 works offering an unprecedented opportunity to experience Fuseli the draughtsman at his most innovative and exciting, as the creator of a fascinating pictorial universe that is as provocative as it is challenging, including the novel image of the powerful female figure. Heinrich Füssli (Swiss, 1741-1825) made a career in Britain as Henry Fuseli, producing visionary art contemporary with that of William Blake.
