Boston Expressionist Artists
The second generation of Boston Expressionist artists is widely represented in the permanent collection. Figurative works by David Aronson, Marianna Pineda, Mitchell Siporin, Barbara Swan, Harold Tovish, and Elbert Weinberg form the basis of this collection. The Art Gallery's acclaimed exhibition, Against the Grain, presented in 2000, examined the impact of these mid-twentieth-century artists on the development of art in New England.

Art of New England
The historical art of New England is an area of strength in the collection. Over the last 25 years The Art Gallery has mounted a series of major exhibitions examining the artistic and cultural heritage of the Granite State, including: A Visual History of the Isles of Shoals; The White Mountains; Art Colonies of Cornish and Dublin; New Hampshire Folk Art; and New Hampshire Traditions in Wood.
This specific area of focus for the permanent collection continues to grow with the addition of works by Frank Benson, Mary B. Call, F. M. H. deHaas, J. J. Enneking, Walter Gay, B. K. Howard, Bernard Karfiol, Gaston Lachaise, William Trost Richards, Abbott H. Thayer, and Charles Woodbury.
