The haunting beauty of Henry O. Tanner's work, Disciples Healing the Sick ( c. 1930) can now be experienced by the throngs pouring into the newly opened National Museum of African-American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C.  The painting, part of CAU Museum's permanent collection, is now on loan to NMAAHC for a period of five years.  It not only speaks to the caliber of the University's art holdings, but also connects Tanner, one of America's most significant painters, to one of CAU's parent institutions, Clark College, where he once served as a member of the art faculty.
