19th / Early 20th Century American

This category covers 19th / Early 20th Century American art from about 1825 (the beginning of the Hudson River School) through 1913 (peak American Impressionism / the year of the Armory Show). 

America’s first major school of painting, the Hudson River School, appeared about 1825. The Hudson River School Artists painted panoramic landscapes extolling the nation’s dramatic natural phenomena as well as documenting America’s westward expansion in a direct, simplistic, and often idyllic fashion.

 

After the reconstruction era of the Civil War, Nouveau riche Americans were clamoring to obtain all manner of “Academic” art in the European tradition, due in part to the rapid expansion of wage growth in the ensuing “Gilded Age” of American prosperity. This newly developed international art market between Europe and the United States, supported by a “few” generally unfair laws, led many “robber barons” of business to acquire pedigreed works of art in order to establish their new social status - at the expense of the working class.

 

Later, early modern art movements such as Impressionism already flourishing in Europe, arrived on Americans shores with the return of the early American Impressionists who were making their way back from Europe after associations with artists such as Claude Monet and others. With the assimilation of Impressionism into the American artistic vernacular and the landmark Armory Show exhibition of 1913 in New York City, traditional and representational art movements in America would find themselves in a push-and-pull battle between them and the various modern rebel schools vying for artistic identity and populace supremacy.

 

Movements and Genres associated with19th / Early 20th Century American art include Colonial art, Itinerant / Limner art, Trompe-l'oeil style, Realism, Hudson River School, Western Art, American Barbizon School, American Munich School, Luminism, Tonalism, Arts and Crafts, Symbolism, American Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
