Romance Reimagined
February 8, 2025 – March 23, 2025
The Autry in Griffith Park
About the Exhibition
Comprised of award-winning paintings and sculptures collected through the Autry’s Masters of the American West, this exhibition explores the role of romanticism in contemporary art. A style of art originating in the late 18th century that quickly spread across Europe and the United States, Romanticism emphasizes emotion, imagination, and immersion in nature as the source of beauty and truth.
In Western art today, Romanticism is associated with depictions of the natural world, noble creatures, and conjured histories. Come and experience the West as it has been imagined to be, but also as it is: a place indelibly shaped by the enduring appeal of its historical image.
Miniatures presented in this exhibition will be auctioned at our exclusive opening celebration Saturday, March 8, 2025.
