Exhibition
Washington, D.C.
1949
The Corcoran exhibition considered a century of taste and criticism through American painting. National Gallery of Art histories document Albert Bierstadt’s Mount Corcoran, Frederic Edwin Church’s Niagara, Thomas Cole’s paired paintings The Departure and The Return, and Thomas Eakins’s Singing a Pathetic Song. The Eakins painting appeared under the historical title The Pathetic Song. Separate native objects and catalogue numbers are retained; these five documented loans do not establish the full exhibition checklist.
