Latest Events in Washington D.C.(August Updated)

On the centenary of the death of this pioneering figure of American Impressionism, let us remember her. This special exhibition features many of Cassatt's most beloved paintings, as well as some rarely exhibited groundbreaking prints and drawings.

Throughout history, the Stars and Stripes has inspired pride, protest, and profound artistic expression. From the battlefield to modern cultural movements, the evolution of this flag in art reveals a nation constantly reinventing itself. This exhibition features approximately 30 artworks spanning from the late 19th century to the present, tracing the evolution of the meaning of the American flag. The exhibition explores the symbolism of the flag and the connection between people and the flag. You will enjoy paintings, prints, and photographs by renowned artists such as Gordon Parks, Child Hassam, Dorothea Lange, Jasper Johns, and Faith Ringold.

Over 100 works on paper showcase how artists over the past 250 years have explored America's historical experience by depicting American landscapes, people, and ideals of freedom. These works cover a wide range of subjects, including photographs by Carlton Watkins, Dorothea Lange, and Kelly May Weems; prints by Thomas Hart Benton, Roy Lichtenstein, and Rupert Garcia; and drawings by Thomas Moran, John Wilson, and Tonita Peña.
