Our Town: A Retrospective of Edith Neff

September 21, 2019 – January 19, 2020

Our Town opens September 21 as the first large-scale exhibition of Neff’s work in over two decades. A leading realist painter of her day, Edith Neff was praised for her dynamic compositions, her sophisticated use of color, and her ability to portray drama in everyday life. She explored questions of race, gender, and identity, probing the social and cultural fabric of Philadelphia.
