=====35 Famous American Paintings You Should Definitely See=====

[https://www.culturefrontier.com/american-paintings/ by Amanda Wallace 18/7/23 CultureFrontier]

The American art scene has gifted us with a treasure trove of renowned paintings that have captivated audiences worldwide. In this article, we invite you to embark on a visual odyssey as we explore 35 extraordinary American paintings that have left a mark on the art world. From the early pioneers of the 18th century to the contemporary visionaries of the 21st century, these masterpieces exemplify the diverse range of styles, themes, and techniques that American artists have employed throughout history.

=====Folk art of the United States=====

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_art_of_the_United_States by WIKIPEDIA]

In colonial America, folk art grew out of artisanal craftsmanship in communities that allowed commonly trained people to individually express themselves, distinct from the high art tradition that dominated Europe, which was less accessible and generally less relevant to American settlers.[4]

=====Prints of the American Indian, 1670–1775=====

[https://www.colonialsociety.org/node/781 by BRADFORD F. SWAN]

PERHAPS not strangely, Americans, prior to the opening of the West, showed very little interest in depicting the Indian. So far as I know, only four portraits of Indians were painted in this country before the American Revolution: the portrait of Ninigret, sachem of the Niantics, by an unidentified artist, which descended in the Winthrop family and is now in the Rhode Island School of Design Museum Of Art; the portrait of the Rev. Samson Occom, Eleazar Wheelock’s Indian preacher, by Nathaniel Smibert, now in the Bowdoin College collection; and the portraits of Tishcohan and Lapowinsa, Delaware Indians who had taken part in the notorious “walking purchase” of Indian lands, painted by Gustavus Hesselius for John Penn in 1735 and now in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

=====1735-1790: Painters, Paintings, & the American South=====

[https://www.themagazineantiques.com/article/painters-and-paintings/ by Editorial Staff 4/3/13 The Magazine ANTIQUES]

The history of the paintings and painters associated with the American South begins in the sixteenth century with maps and natural-history drawings created by the first artist-explorers to arrive in the region. By the mid-seventeenth century the southern colonies also boasted portraiture and other types of paintings, all of which increased in number as settlements and populations grew. By the 1750s most painters working in the southern colonies were aware of the best regional markets for their work, and more and more clients were aware of the best available painters.

=====Upcoming Auctions=====

A timepiece steeped in history—this 18K tricolor gold Jacquemart automaton quarter repeater pocket watch, purportedly owned by the Marquis de Lafayette, embodies both technical mastery and revolutionary legacy.

=====Europe's earliest views of America=====

[https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/baroque-art1/baroque-england/v/europes-earliest-views-of-america by Khan Academy]

The painting "Indians of Virginia" by James Wooldridge offers a third-generation view of Algonquian Indians. Created for the Earl of Conway, it's based on late 16th-century prints and watercolors by John White. The artwork combines European artistic conventions with the exotic, presenting a familiar yet intriguing image of the New World.

=====Early American Art=====

[https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/early-american-art/96642949 by slideshare]

This document provides information about early American artworks and artists from the 17th to 19th centuries. It discusses how ordinary people produced folk art using materials available to them. When artists tried to capture personalities and emotions in their subjects, this was called portraiture. The document also profiles several prominent American artists from this period including Thomas Cole, who painted landscapes, and John James Audubon, who was both an artist and naturalist who painted birds. It provides context and observations for various paintings shown.

=====19th Century American Art=====

[https://www.artsy.net/gene/19th-century-american-art by Artsy]

A general category for artworks made in the United States between 1800 and 1900. While until 1820 American art was largely derivative of European styles, Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School would develop a distinctive style of painting that highlighted the American landscape, a subject that was later explored and imbued with nationalist themes by Albert Bierstadt during his travels through the American West.

=====10 American Artists You Should Know=====

[https://blog.artsper.com/en/get-inspired/10-american-artists-you-should-know/ by Artsper Magazine]

Since the mid 20th century, the United States has been the leader in the art market. The awarding of the Golden Lion to the American Rauschenberg at the 1964 Venice Biennale testifies to the shift in primacy from the School of Paris to the New York School. Today, in addition to its museums with the most prestigious collections, the “Big Apple” is the city with the most galleries. In fact, more than 100,000 artists have set up their studios there, taking advantage of the opportunity to try their luck with more than 1,500 galleries.

=====The American School: Artists and Status in the Late Colonial and Early National Era=====

New Haven: Yale University Press in association with the Paul Mellon Center for Studies in British Art, 2016; 316 pp.; 100 color illus.; 80 b/w illus.; ISBN: 978-0-300-21461; Hardcover: $75.00

=====American Paintings=====

[https://www.neartexchange.com/painting/american by New England Art Exchange]

This is a fine impressionist landscape painting by American artist John Joseph Enneking. The subject is a Fall Twilight landscape. It is signed Enneking lower right. The painting measures 22X30 inches. Relined but in very presentable condition. John J. Enneking (1841-1916) "John Joseph Enneking, a man ahead of his time, had a stylistic foot in both the pre-impressionist and impressionist worlds of the late nineteenth century. An 1873 sketch of Madame Monet bears evidence of his work as perhaps America’s earliest impressionist painter. But he also knew Edouard Manet (1824-1898), and studied with the great French Barbizon teacher Charles-Francois Daubigny (1817-1878), as well as with Eugene Boudin (1824-1898)." (Vose)

=====American Paintings, 1900–1945=====

[https://www.nga.gov/research/publications/american-paintings-1900-1945 by National Gallery Of Art]

The first curator of the National Gallery of Art, John Walker, and three of its early trustees—Chester Dale, Duncan Phillips, and Paul Mellon—established a commitment to the field of American 20th-century art that has continued to the present day. If American contemporary art was far from a top priority when the Gallery opened in 1941, these “conservative” modernists nonetheless managed to set precedents that proved to be durable and effective.

=====American Falk Art Museum=====

=====European and American Art Before 1900=====

[https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/collection/european-and-american-art by DENVER art MUSEUM]

The department of European and American Art Before 1900 oversees a collection that includes more than 3,000 artworks and is composed of painting, sculpture, and works on paper, with significant strengths in early Italian Renaissance, 19th century French painting, and British art from 1400 to 1900.

=====19th Century American Art=====

[https://www.midwestmuseum.org/project/19th-century-american-art/ by MIDWEST MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART]

Naive Artists, Limners, and Self-Taught Artists

There was not an immediate need for trained artists in the New World since most of the activities of early settlers and colonists involved survival. As the Seventeenth Century came to a close and the Eighteenth Century was dawning, a need arose within the colonies of America for artists who could paint signs, carve grave markers, paint carriages and furniture, create fanciful documents, and paint portraits to serve as testimonials to wealth and genealogical records of family members.
