New Frontier II. American Art

The origins of American genre painting

from the 2013-01-19 until the 2013-04-22

This exhibition theme is the development of genre painting in the USA until the Civil War. Some American artists—such as George Caleb Bingham, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait and Eastman Johnson—met with popular success by painting scenes that depicted the daily lives of people on the fringes of society, those who ventured into the huge country’s virgin territories. Though seemingly naive in style, these images of trappers or Mississippi boatmen were influenced by European genre paintings, notably those from the Dutch Golden Age and contemporary British works.
