The museum says:

“Curated by Ricardo Mercado and organized in Collaboration with Newport Curates, the show is a landmark exhibition celebrating the life and work of Howard Gardiner Cushing, a dynamic force in American art at the turn of the 20th Century. The exhibition is the first major retrospective in decades of one of the Gilded Age’s most visionary — and overlooked artists.’’
