In Eastman Johnson in Focus, the Milwaukee Art Museum unites in conversation Johnson’s two masterpieces: his major antebellum painting Negro Life at the South, from the New-York Historical Society, and his post–Civil War masterwork The Old Stagecoach, from Milwaukee’s Layton Art Collection. When first painted, both works inspired praise and evoked ire, their seemingly idyllic scenes igniting discussions on issues of slavery, poverty, and the nation’s history. This exhibition explores briefly the artist’s career, as well as the historical context of each work.
