George Miller and American Lithography Through September 15, 2019 Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State, University Park, Pennsylvania For information, visit www.palmermuseum.psu.edu The exhibition is selected entirely from the museum’s expansive permanent collection and features thirty-eight prints by an impressive roster of art- ists who worked with master printer George Miller (1894– 1965) to create some of their most memorable and recogniz- able works in the early twenti- eth century. For forty years, starting in 1917, Miller assisted many of the country’s leading American Scene artists in exploring lithogra- phy’s expressive possibilities, including Thomas Hart Benton, Howard Cook, John Steuart Curry, Stuart Davis, Mabel Dwight, Don Freeman, Wanda Gág, Doris Lee, and Louis Lozowick, to name just a few; a veritable who’s who of printmakers.

PEM is the old- est, as well as one of the fastest-growing museums in the country. When the new wing opens, Salem will become one of the nation’s largest art museum destinations outside of a major urban center. PEM expansion. Architectural rendering by Ennead Architects.
