Highlights from the McCutchan, Pace, Warhol, and Zutt Collections

McCutchan Collection

Life-long Evansville resident Kenneth P. McCutchan collected works of art by Indiana artists for over 40 years.

The majority of the 260 works in the McCutchan Collection are by the Hoosier Group - Indiana Impressionist painters working in the late 19th and early 20th centuries primarily known for their Indiana landscapes.

McCutchan also collected the work of his contemporaries, especially artists working in Evansville and the Tri-State area from the 1950s through the early 70s.

A third facet of McCutchan's collection is work by younger Indiana artists, including many University of Southern Indiana faculty, alumni and students. Click on the Gallery images for details and larger images.

Pace Collection

The Pace Collection includes 50 art works representing the life and career of 20th century artist, Stephen S. Pace.

Pace's work has three distinct periods. It begins with work from the 1940s and 50s when Pace was studying in Mexico and Europe.

From the mid-50's when Pace was working in New York, the work is Abstract Expressionist.

The third era continues through the latter half of the 20th century, with Pace's exploration of the figure and the motion of horses.

In this new century Pace's work reflects memories of life in Indiana and Maine.
