A close look at early 20th-century New York City is revealed through the eyesof Ashcan artist John Sloan.

Throughout his life Peters depicted the ordinary places and people of America. From Rochester to Rockport, Peters made an amazingly coherent group of fascinating, masterful American pictures.

The Ashcan School painter John Sloan was preoccupied with the New York City rooftop perhaps more than any other American artist in the early decades of the twentieth century. This major loan exhibition offers the first in-depth examination of Sloan's career-long interest in the urban rooftop and expands on the visual culture of "the city above the city" with examples by notable contemporaries, including George Ault, Edward Hopper, William Glackens, and Reginald Marsh. Organized by the Palmer Museum of Art, the exhibition is accompanied by a publication and will travel to The Hyde Collection.

Captain America made his debut in 1940, just two years behind the first comic book superheroes and five years before the United States' emergence as the world's primary superpower at the end of World War II. His journey has been intertwined with America's progress throughout the decades. Known as the "Sentinel of Liberty," he has frequently provided socio-political commentary on current events as well as inspiration and warnings concerning the future. This work explores the interconnected histories of the United States and Captain America, decade-by-decade, from the character's origins to Chris Evans' portrayal of him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It examines how Captain America's story provides a guide through America's tenure as a global superpower, holds a mirror up to American society, and acts as a constant reminder of what America can and should be.
