Picturing America: Signature Works from the Westmoreland Museum of American Art
Saturday, Jun 14, 2014 — Sunday, Aug 24, 2014
Fifty-seven works from the Westmoreland’s permanent collection made up this exhibition that spans 200 years of American art, from colonial times to the mid-20th century, as the United States came into its own as the cultural capital of the world. Seen through the subject areas of portraiture, still-life, landscape and narrative painting, the artists represented in this exhibition serve as a survey of American art. The exhibition featured oil and tempera paintings and bronze sculptures by artists ranging from Charles Willson Peale to Mary Cassatt, Robert Henri and Harriet Frishmuth
