New Britain Museum of American Art

The following postcards are from the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut. I visited in 2007 and these were some of the exhibits that were currently on display.
This display was up from January 7th - March 11, 2007. The painting on the postcard is entitled "Bridge" by Peter Waite, using acrylic on panels.


This postcard was marking a celebration including music, tours, food, and family activities that took place on April 1st 2007. The celebration was for the museum's new art lab and art studio. The painting on the front was by Frank DiGioia, entitled "Wedding Feast", using oil on canvas.

The text on the back states: "Featuring 104 works from two extraordinary private collections, this exhibition includes artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Maxfield Parrish, John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth". The art on the front of the postcard is "Goodbye on the Mersey" by Jean Jacques-Joseph Tissot. It was painted in 1881 using oil on canvas.

This postcard is marking the exhibition which featured more than 100 of Christopher Hewat's crafted brass miniatures, which was held from March 18th - June 17th 2007. The piece on the front of the postcard is an untitled detail of brass construction.
