Art Exhibition - American Watercolors

The exhibition chosen for today’s article is American Watercolors from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exhibition was organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The American Federation of Art. This exhibition of 150 works took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1991. Two selections of 75 water colors each were on national tour. This exhibition featured landscapes, topographical views, architectural studies and still lifes painted over a period of almost 150 years. The pieces were carefully chosen and represented the best of the bests. Many of the artists included in this exhibition are some of my favorite painters. Among my favorites are John Singer Sargent, John Marin, John La Farge and Childe Hassam. There were, however, a number of painters with work included in this exhibition that were unknown to me. A few of the artist with work in this show there were previously unknown to me were: James David Smillie, William Stanley Haseltine and William Guy Wall. Visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art is always exciting and viewing American Watercolors from the Metropolitan Museum of Art would have made the experience one that I would have treasured forever.
