Exhibition description:
Between the 1850s and 1950s, American art and culture came of age, evolving from the provincial to the international scale and moving from literal depictions to abstract interpretations of universal ideals. Coming of Age explored the complex and extended process of maturation that took place throughout this formative century of American art. Drawn from the Addison Gallery’s renowned collection, this selection of works offered a comprehensive look at the major developments in a period of one hundred years, marked by the rise of modernity and by a dramatic change in the physical and social landscape.

Partnerships:
Exhibition organized by the American Federation of Arts, New York, and the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts.
