Elsie Driggs
Although more widely recognized for her early Precisionist paintings, Elsie Driggs (1898-1992) created plant life paintings, animal paintings, watercolors of figures in urban settings, as well as murals based on folktales. This exhibition will present over 50 works from throughout Driggs' life, including collages, mixed media constructions, and oil paintings inspired by memories of her student days in Italy and the dynamism of New York during the seventies and eighties.

This exhibit features work from the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, the Montclair Museum of Art in New Jersey, Citibank, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, the Corcoran Gallery and Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Organized by the Michener Art Museum, the exhibition is accompanied by a major publication that is being authored by the Michener's Curator of Collections Constance Kimmerle and copublished by the University of Pennsylvania Press and the Michener Art Museum.

The James A. Michener Art Museum, housed in the 1884 renovated Bucks County Prison, is located in the cultural hub of Doylestown Borough, PA, adjacent to the Bucks County Free Library Center and across the street from the Mercer Museum. Named in honor of the Doylestown native and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, the museum opened to the public in September 1988 at a ceremony attended by Mr. Michener and his wife, Mari.

In 1992, a fund-raising campaign was launched to expand the museum with larger exhibition galleries and state-of-the-art storage vault. The newly expanded museum opened to the public on July 18, 1993.

Further expansion includes the Mari Sabusawa Michener Wing (named for the author's late wife who died in 1994) which opened to the public in October 1996.

The Michener Art Museum has intimate galleries filled with work by well-known regional and national artists; a permanent collection features 19th and 20th century American art.
