Milwaukee, Wisconsin
1951
Milwaukee Art Institute presented American Primitive Painting 1750–1950 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1951. The exhibition’s historical title defines a two-century range of American painting; source attributions to unknown makers remain separate from current museum identifications. Documented examples include Prior-Hamblin School’s Husband (c. 1845; oil on cardboard) and Edward Hicks’s Peaceable Kingdom (c. 1834; oil on canvas). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
