Coming of Age: American Art, 1850s to 1950s

From landscapes to abstract paintings over a period of one hundred years from 1850s to the 1950s, American art and culutre came of age, evolving from the provincial to the international and moving from literal depictions of the particular to abstract interpretations of universal ideals. This exhibition focuses on the key movements during a period in which American art matured and took its place in the international arena.
