That is my experience exactly. I couldn't have put it better. Savannah had a great community of artists from about the 1920's to 50's, but the museum here was busy competing with the NY crowd (and losing too). The Morris Museum in Augusta had more foresight and they bought up all the good Savannah art from this period and you can go there to see it now. They even have some hunting scenes which are definitely not "pc". It probably helps that their backer, Billy Morris, is "like us" and hunts and invests his money in farm and hunting land.
