“The Bicentennial Print” (1976) by Roy Lichtenstein.

The Longview Museum of Fine Arts (LMFA) exhibits Stories From the Vault: Selections From the Permanent Collection through December 21. This exhibit features a number of art works from the museum’s Permanent Collection by prominent Postmodern American artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Christo and Robert Rauschenberg.

The exhibit emphasizes stories behind the works with an interpretive audio tour that shares the interesting histories of the artists and works in the exhibit. QR (quick response) codes beside the works can be scanned to access the stories through their smartphones.

The exhibit features art from the Postmodern movement that caught on in the second half of the 20th century. These artists explored simpler techniques like screen printing and quilting that allowed them to create works in styles not seen before. Texas art from the early 20th century to contemporary works from the museum’s Permanent Collection is also featured.
