The Westmoreland Museum of American Art is proud to present “Works by Aaron Gorson, Words by Maxwell King,” a new exhibition highlighting the industrial landscape paintings of artist Aaron Harry Gorson accompanied by insightful text by author Maxwell King.
Featuring a selection of works on loan from private collections, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore Gorson’s popular depictions of Pittsburgh’s steelmaking industry. The exhibition will be on view at The Westmoreland through fall 2025.
The text included in the exhibition is drawn from King’s research into Gorson’s life and career, which he will expand upon in an upcoming biography on the artist, “Fire in the Night Sky” (Lyons Press, spring 2026). An excerpt from the biography is presented within the exhibition, providing a preview of the publication. King has authored two other biographies, one on self-taught artist John Kane and a New York Times-bestselling book about Mister Rogers.
