American Impressionism and Realism

Introduction

start feature | index of feature

Over the past forty years, Margaret and Raymond Horowitz have assembled a superb collection of American art from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Attracted to lyrical paintings that were representational but not academic in style, they were among the first collectors to dedicate themselves to American impressionism.

This Web feature presents excerpts from the exhibition catalogue including comments from the collector Raymond Horowitz, illustrated essays on 12 works from the exhibition, and 8 artist biographies. The comprehensive catalogue about the exhibition is available in the Gallery Shop.
