Art

 

One artist to highlight is Sarah Stilwell Weber for her piece "Woman with leopards"; there's more of her work here. She's one of the many people represented in the National Museum of American Illustration, site here.

It's interesting to look at the top artists from America, seeing as this is such a new country. We've got Parrish, Rockwell, Leyendecker, Wyeth--and the Impressionist Childe Hassam. We also have Abbott Thayer [many of his large paintings that include angelic figures are in D.C. museums], Whistler, Sargent, Winslow Homer, the modern Jasper Johns and Pollock, and O'Keeffe.
