The uniqueness of the American market and the ways that values are established will be addressed. We will explore art movements from 18th and 19th century portraiture, 19th century Romanticism and the Hudson River School to American Impressionism, Americans in Paris (Whistler, Sargent, Cassatt), The Ten, the Ashcan School, and the Armory Show.
