19th Century at the Met Exhibition Mixed English Praise
A sprawling Met exhibition titled Nineteenth Century American Art seeks to evoke the era with 200 paintings 33 sculptures and 360 decorative objects while omitting folk traditions and some major artists. Despite uneven display lighting and a cluttered period room, standout works by Gilbert Stuart George Caleb Bingham Thomas Eakins John Singer Sargent and Thomas Cole illuminate American genius alongside refined furniture and Tiffany glass though many pieces feel incongruous with the period revival emphasis.
