Westmoreland Museum announces new exhibit of industrial landscape paintings
The Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg is presenting “Works by Aaron Gorson, Words by Maxwell King,” a new exhibit highlighting the industrial landscape paintings of artist Aaron Harry Gorson accompanied by text from author Maxwell King.
Featuring a selection of works on loan from private collections, the exhibit offers an opportunity to explore Gorson’s popular depictions of Pittsburgh’s steelmaking industry.
The text included in the exhibit is drawn from King’s research into Gorson’s life and career, which he will expand upon in a biography on Gorson, “Fire in the Night Sky,” which is set to be published in 2026.
In addition to providing the written commentary for the exhibit, King selected the paintings to be featured and assisted with choosing the arrangement of the works. On Oct. 23, King will give a lecture on the exhibit.
The museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. For additional information go online to westmoreland,org.
