- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about paintings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Georgia. American painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries utilized, and evolved from, European examples and traditions. The cultural significance of art in the early years of the nation grew as the country began to mature, evolve, and define itself. American painters of the nineteenth century often favored naturalism and Romanticism over older neoclassical styles and subject matter. Whether Georgia-born artists, immigrants, temporary residents, or tourists, many painters in the state fashioned important contributions to the history of American art. The history of painting in and of Georgia--with the civilizing importance of portraiture, the role of sublime landscape images, the significance of scientific naturalism and realism, and the advent of poetics and emotion at the center of art--mirrors the history of painting throughout the United States during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
