His vivid colors and unusual, eye-catching compositions will make his work a compelling presence in the museum’s galleries. I am particularly excited that this is the first work by Steward to enter Mia’s collection.” Ms. Feldman assumed her new position as Director of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, on March 11, 2019.
