There really is something for everyone at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (the Carter) in 2025. Beginning in March, the Fort Worth museum will introduce exhibitions exploring the musicians and fashion of the Age of Enlightenment through the eyes of Scott and Stuart Gentling, a multi-city tour of the private collection of Texas-based collector Charles Butt, a 60-year retrospective of artist Robert Bergman’s photography and a nationally touring exhibition featuring a reexamination of the influence of Asian American art in the United States.  Classically Trained: The Gentlings and Music runs March 15–July 13, 2025. This exhibition explores the two Fort Worth artists’ fascination with the Age of Enlightenment (ca. 1685–1815). Inspired by advancements in learning and the explosion of creativity during the Enlightenment period, Scott and Stuart Gentling read extensively about the era, took up period instruments to compose their own music, and sought out texts and artifacts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The exhibition highlights the variety of ways the Gentlings’ immersive engagement with the Age of Enlightenment inspired their art making in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Organized by the Carter, Classically Trained features over 20 artworks by the Gentlings, including paintings, drawings, and music inspired by the Enlightenment world. These include a variety of still-life compositions, costume studies, and portrait paintings of period composers, such as Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. These artworks will be accompanied by Enlightenment-era music as well as musical compositions by Scott Gentling.  Robert Bergman (b.1944) [untitled], 1988 Inkjet print with lacquer and wax coatings Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, Purchase funded with a gift from J.
