The Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, displays four murals painted by George Beattie in 1956 and removed from the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s building in Atlanta in 2011. The four oil paintings on Masonite, on exhibition from Aug. 1, 2012, to Jan. 7, 2013, address the state’s history of agriculture and feature American Indians, the founding of Georgia, and the role of enslaved persons in sugar and cotton production.
