American Made: Paintings & Sculpture From The Demell Jacobsen Collection by Elizabeth Heuer

Description

A fascinating survey of exceptional American painting and sculpture from the late 18th century to the present day. The DeMell Jacobsen Collection of paintings and sculpture – an assemblage rich in American cultural heritage – parallels the development of art in the United States.

American Made features some of the country’s most recognised artists: Thomas Cole, John Kensett, Asher B. Durand, and William Trost Richards, while works by Theodore Robinson, Childe Hassam, Willard Leroy Metcalf, and William Merritt Chase represent the Grand Tour and concepts gained abroad. Wonderful still lifes appear throughout the collection, including paintings by Severin Roesen, William Harnett, and a late work by William Bailey. Portraiture is represented in stellar examples by members of the Peale family, Thomas Sully, Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and Edmund Charles Tarbell.
