ART WE 🫶: ‘Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism’ and ‘Tennessee Harvest: 1870s - 1920s’ on view at @fristartmuseum through May 4th.

“Featuring approximately 50 paintings and sculptures, the exhibition’s portrayals of farmers in fields and gardens, bustling urban markets, and chefs and diners in the age of grand banquets and a burgeoning café scene underscores connections between urban and rural life while capturing changing notions of gender, labor, and class.”

“As with their French counterparts, these Tennessee artists often romanticized agricultural life. Showing strong, hard-working farmers and harvesters, they celebrate rural self-sufficiency and resiliency.” 

❗️VISIT: M, F, S @ 10a-5:30p / TH @ 10a-8p / SU @ 1-5:30p
