American Art at National Academy

We’re not alone in thinking a lot about American art this weekend: An American Collection 1820–1970 just opened at the National Academy Museum.

“Masterpieces and notable works, featuring a salon-style installation of 120 paintings, spanning the period of 1820–1970, and reflecting the diversity of American art,” such as this painting, Three Share-Croppers (c.1974), by Robert Gwathmey.
