AMERICAN ART Part I
 - (1776 -1900)

     
  The United States was not founded by schooled artists, but by people
seeking freedom and adventure. American artists have been like America itself,
pioneering, bold, and independent. Early American artists had their roots
firmly planted in European traditions but explored their own frontiers and
evolved their own unique flavor, forged in the struggles of the birth of a
nation. 

     
   Join us for a look at the roots of American Art from 1776 until
1900 with its pioneering courage, independent drive, and rebellious spirit.
