\"TheClarksville, TN<\/strong> – The Customs House Museum is currently showcasing the art of the Nashville Artist Guild in its Kimbrough Gallery through February with the exhibit \u201cDivided Loyalties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show represents the artistic interpretations of the many different aspects of the War Between the States within a variety of media.<\/p>\n

Included in the exhibit is Peach McComb. Peach has studied with several well-known artists such as Charles Gruppe, Mary Whyte, and Roger Dale Brown. Her expressive paintings are filled with bold colors and strong movement.<\/p>\n

For this series, Peach has created \u201cThe Battle of Fort Sumter\u201d. The fort sits upon deep blue water, and is topped with fiery golds and oranges. Splatterings of thick, white paint throughout the canvas give homage to the chaos of the event.<\/p>\n

Peach\u2019s works can be found in private collections throughout the U.S., as well as in the permanent collection of the Tennessee State Museum.<\/p>\n

Artist Garry Hornbuckle says that he wanted to capture the tension between the personal the impersonal aspects of the War. His piece, titled \u201cA Grave Record\u201d, is comprised of small markers of Confederate soldiers and the large portraits of Lincoln, Lee, and Grant.<\/p>\n

From a distance, the markers appear to be a grid of gray-hued rectangles, more like worn wallpaper than grave markers. It is only when the viewer steps close to the art that it becomes a formal grid relaying the names and ranks of the fallen.<\/p>\n

The Nashville Artist Guild was born in 1950 when art teachers from Vanderbilt University, Ward-Belmont, and the University of Tennessee Extension School brought together some of their students with other professional artists and created a new organization.<\/p>\n

[320left]The mission of the Nashville Artist Guild is to maintain a not-for-profit organization of professional artists, promote fine visual art as an integral part of Nashville life, create educational programs and opportunities for the public, and provide member artists with appropriate venues for exhibiting their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cDivided Loyalties\u201d will be on exhibit through March 4th. Located at the corner of Second and Commerce Streets, the Customs House Museum is the second largest general museum in Tennessee.<\/p>\n
