Over the years, a number of donors have contributed important twentieth century art work to the University’s collection. This exhibit focuses on the donors, who they are, the nature of their collections, their connections to Washington and Lee, and the significance of their gifts.  Sydney and Francis Lewis, Euchlin and Louise Herreshoff Reeves, Jacob and Bernice Bernstein, John Poynor, Stan Kamen and Keith Shillington are among those whose donations will be featured. “The paintings and sculpture they contributed constitute a fine teaching collection,” according to Professor Pamela Simpson, curator for the exhibit. “Together they tell a story about the love of art and the love of this university.”

Staniar Gallery is open Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm

Introduced in 14th-century Japan, the netsuke would hang from a kimono's obi or sash by a cord to attach the container in which Japanese men would store their personal belongings. These soon became elaborately sculpted from ivory, lacquer, wood and other exotic materials.

The netsuke in the Washington and Lee Collection come from alumnus Joseph M. Glickstein.

Kamen Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
