THE HIGH: AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS: ANGLO-AMERICAN PORTRAITURE IN AN ERA OF REVOLUTION & AMERICAN ART PERMANENT COLLECTION
Posted by Layla on January 9, 2015 in ART |
The High Museum of Art, Musée du Louvre, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Terra Foundation for American Art will present the third installation in their four-year collaboration focusing on the history of American art. American Encounters: Anglo-American Portraiture in an Era of Revolution provides a close look at five portraits that demonstrate how portraiture style evolved in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as American and European painters were influenced by each other. The installation’s five works have never been displayed together previously.
Following its presentation at the Louvre (Feb. 1–April 28, 2014), the installation will travel to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark. (May 17–Sept. 15, 2014) and the High Museum of Art (Sept. 28, 2014–Jan. 18, 2015).
The American art collection at the High features significant works by renowned nineteenth- and twentieth-century American artists such as William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Henry Ossawa Tanner, John Twachtman, Marsden Hartley, and Andrew Wyeth. It includes landscapes by Hudson River School artists, figure paintings by Henry Inman and John Singer Sargent, and still-life paintings by John Frederick Peto, William Michael Harnett, and William Mason Brown. Recent acquisitions have focused on American painting and sculpture of the late nineteenth century as well as twentieth-century modernism with works by artists ranging from painters Benjamin West, Frederic Edwin Church, and John Singer Sargent and the sculptor Edmonia Lewis to such influential modernists as Joseph Stella, Georgia O’Keeffe, and John Marin, bringing the American collection to more than 1,000 objects.
