Nature
 
Like all the arts, the visual arts have long sought to praise the beauty of the natural world. Whether a site of idyllic repose or fearsome power, nature as a source of artists' creativity is explored in the "Nature" section of the reinstalled permanent collection, where visitors will share William Stanley Haseltine's view of an Italian monastery. A substantial selection of works from Howard Finster's "Paradise Garden" are a featured part of this section.
