The American naive paintings at the National Gallery of Art have long
been appreciated as wonderfully appealing, and in some cases visually
stunning, works of art. Yet with the exception of those paintings by
important, known artists such as Erastus Field or
Edward Hicks, few had been studied thoroughly. Whereas other volumes of
the systematic catalogue build upon decades, sometimes centuries, of
scholarship, many of the more than 300 pictures included here are now
published for the first time. The research presented here reveals much
about the growth of the United States, its centers of commerce a century
and a half ago, the pathways for the spread of visual ideas in the 19th
century, and the aspirations and sentiments of the middle class. The
majority of the works included originated in the northeastern United
States during the 19th century.
