Julius Bloch: Portrait of the Artist presents approximately forty paintings, drawings, and prints that survey the range of the artist's career from 1912 to the early 1950s.

Known world-wide as the Pennsylvania Dutch, they brought with them the artistic traditions of such regions as the Palatinate in southern Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Northern Germany, Moravia in Czechoslovakia, and Silesia in Poland. This exhibition brings together over 300 objects selected from the organizing museums and nearly 100 other institutions and private collections.
