On September 21, 2013, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. will present American Journeys – Visions of Place. The exhibition will showcase the reinstallation of the museum’s renowned collection of pre-1945 American paintings and sculpture while exploring the changing notion of place in the history of American art. The exhibition will include approximately 125 works, presenting more paintings than have ever been on view in the museum’s galleries of historic American art.
The museum’s illustrious collection of American art dating from 1718 to 1945 began as the private holdings of the museum’s founder, William Wilson Corcoran. The collection’s particular strengths include Hudson River School paintings, American Impressionism and early 20th century realism.
