Chesterwood is delighted to announce a collaboration with our Stockbridge neighbor, the Norman Rockwell Museum, in honoring the centennial of the Lincoln Memorial which was dedicated on May 30, 1922. This exhibition highlights the work of illustrators and artists who have incorporated the Lincoln Memorial and Daniel Chester French’s seated Lincoln into their art as a symbolic element - an instantly-recognizable icon upon which to build meaning. Approximately fifty historical and contemporary artworks by noted illustrators and cartoonists are featured, as well as archival photographs, sculptural elements, artifacts, and ephemera.

Artists in the exhibition include: Henry Bacon, Garin Baker, Istvan Banyai, Tony Bennett, Clifford Berryman, R O Blechman, Daniel Burnham, Donald Cannavara, Ernie Chan, Sam Calder, Jeff Danziger, John Darkow, Matt Davies, Sean Delonas, Stevan Dohanos, Alan Dunn, Shawn Fields, Abraham Garfield, James Gasparro, Mitch Gerads, Chad Gowey, James Gurney, Harris & Ewing, Paul Hoffmaster, David Horsey, John C.
