Henry Ossawa Tanner, Return of the Holy Women
The Cedar Rapids Museum will be loaning Henry Ossawa Tanner's work
Return of the Holy Women to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts for an exhibition titled "Henry O. Tanner: Modern Spirit."
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where Tanner studied from 1879 to 1885, is honored to organize the exhibition that will elevate his reputation by generating new scholarship and by bringing together more than 90 drawings, photographs, prints, paintings, and sculptures. In addition to celebrating Tanner's esteemed position in the American art canon as a pioneering African-American artist, this retrospective will establish him as one of the most significant American expatriate artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The presentation of CRMA's Tanner,
Return of the Holy Women will undoubtedly shape visitors' experiences of the exhibition and their understanding of Tanner's contributions to the history of art.
