The Smithsonian American Art Museum showcases different time periods of American Art! Here’s some key time periods that the SAAM covers on their website.
19th Century Art
In the 1870s, artists like Mary Cassatt and Childe Hassam often worked outdoors to record gorgeous light and color, big features of the impressionist style.
20th Century Art
Artists in the twentieth century chose two ways to represent the world and the excitement of progress—realism and abstraction.
