Lines of a Nation: Early American Drawings & Their Legacy

How do we define early American art? When do drawings truly become American despite being produced by artists often trained in Europe? What or who defines “American” in terms of imagery, materials, or techniques? This panel discussion brings together four specialists in American art to share their knowledge on this important moment for the nascent United States as they forged an image for themselves, and how drawing offers an important perspective in this conceptualization.
Moderator: Amy Torbert, Associate Curator of American Art, St. Louis Art Museum
Panelists:
Stuart Feld, President of Hirschl & Adler and avid American Drawings collector
Mark Mitchell, Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, Yale University Gallery
Christina Michelon, Curator of Prints and Drawings, Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Presented in partnership with The Drawing Foundation and in association with Master Drawings New York
