New Realism
Summer 2025 – June 14, 2026
On view in the Grisham Gallery
Overview
New Realism explores the enduring relevance of representational art in an age often defined by abstraction and conceptualism. This compelling exhibition highlights a diverse group of American artists who have embraced realism not as nostalgia, but as a powerful and evolving language.
Featuring works from the Huntsville Museum of Art’s permanent collection, the exhibition reveals how these painters have revitalized traditional genres landscape, portraiture, still life—with a contemporary sensibility and astonishing technical skill.
