Taylor Porter is among the sponsors of LSU Museum of Art's Elliott Daingerfield "Everlasting Calm" exhibit, on display at the Shaw Center through March 19, 2017.

​Influenced by the French Barbizon School, Tonalists, and Symbolists, the work of Daingerfield seeks to evoke the divine manifest in nature. Daingerfield’s work stands out among his National Academy of Design colleagues for its often distinctly southern mood. Everlasting Calm includes Daingerfield’s oil paintings of Southern scenes and monumental Western landscapes as well as studies for these works.

This retrospective exhibition is organized by the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, Georgia. The exhibition will include over fifty works by Elliott Daingerfield as well as work by George Inness and Ralph Blakelock, contemporaries about whom Daingerfield published writings during the early twentieth century.

Founded in 1959, the LSU Museum of Art opened its doors to the public in 1962 as a small period room museum in the Memorial Tower. In 2005, it moved to the Shaw Center for the Arts, where it has more than 13,000 square feet of immense exhibition space. As the only dedicated art museum in the City of Baton Rouge, the LSU Museum of Art serves more than 20,000 adults and children who visit the museum’s galleries annually.
