American Paintings of the Nineteenth Century

About the exhibition

California Palace of the Legion of Honor presented American Paintings of the Nineteenth Century in 1964. The National Gallery of Art’s accessioned-object exhibition histories document 1 individual works in this selection: Giant Magnolias on a Blue Velvet Cloth by Martin Johnson Heade. The surviving object-history references retain catalogue numbers 45. Each connection follows an exact native object and accession, preserving distinct impressions and historical title or attribution labels. These records establish selected exhibited works rather than artist attendance or museum ownership. The original full checklist and exact opening and closing days remain unconfirmed.
