1947
Philadelphia Museum of Art presented A Survey of Watercolor: East and West, Old and New in Philadelphia in 1947. The exhibition surveyed watercolor across different periods and geographical traditions, with individually documented works on paper. Documented examples include James McBey’s Ships on the Giudecca, Venice (1924; watercolor on laid paper) and Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s Angelica Is Exposed to the Orc (1780s; black chalk with brown and gray wash on laid paper). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
