Face of America, The History of Portraiture in the United States

About the exhibition

Brooklyn Museum presented Face of America, The History of Portraiture in the United States in 1957–1958. The National Gallery of Art’s accessioned-object exhibition histories document 2 individual works in this selection: Catherine Brass Yates (Mrs. Richard Yates) by Gilbert Stuart; Family Group by William Glackens. The surviving object-history references retain catalogue numbers 25, 82. 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.
