Focal Point: The David Hall Photography Collection
June 12, 2025 -April 19, 2026
The Tampa Museum of Art is the proud recipient of the David Hall Collection. A prolific collector of photographs, Hall became enamored with photography during childhood and later shared his passion with the Tampa community as one of the founding members of the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA). He collected 20th-century masters such as Berenice Abbott, Eugène Atget, and Edward Weston, and specialized in photography between World War 1 and World War 2. An avid photographer himself, Hall collected works by contemporary photographers including Judy Dater and Robert Hartman. Focal Point: The David Hall Photography Collection takes an intimate look at the collector’s eye and traces major developments in 20th-century photography.
In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870–1940 Works from the Bank of America Collection
August 7 – November 30, 2025
A sweeping survey of American Impressionism embracing precursor, contemporary and subsequent movements, In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870–1940 explores the reinterpretation of American landscape painting. Presenting works by a diverse group of more than 75 artists, the exhibition traces not only the development of Impressionism in the United States but also the emergence of a uniquely American style. Concentrating on regional artists’ colonies established across the United States, In a New Light explores the ways in which local artists interpreted America’s rural, maritime and urban spaces and portrayed daily life using the Impressionist devices of capturing the moment with brisk brushstrokes, a vibrant palette and atmospheric effects. Featured artists include Childe Hassam, George Inness, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson, Daniel Garber and Guy Carleton Wiggins.
