The American Scene 1820–1900

About the exhibition

Indiana University Art Museum presented The American Scene 1820–1900 in 1970. The National Gallery of Art’s accessioned-object exhibition histories document 2 individual works in this selection: The Lackawanna Valley by George Inness; Ball Playing among the Sioux Indians by Seth Eastman. The surviving object-history references retain catalogue numbers 27. 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.
