Inside the Corcoran’s Incredible Art Collection

From 1869 to 2014 the Corcoran Gallery of Art was one of the oldest art museums in the United States – reflecting the country’s move from the ashes of the Civil War into the 21st century. Artists like Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper all participated in the Corcoran Biennial art competition and so many more artists thrived in the museum’s collection like Albert Bierstadt, Gilbert Stuart, George Bellows, Gordon Parks, Alma Thomas. From birthing a new art movement to becoming a sight of LGBTQ history – the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s history is American history. #nationalgalleryofart #WashingtonDCArt #CorcoranGalleryofArt #arthistory #LoisMailouJones #AmericanImpressionism Still haven’t subscribed to our YouTube channels?    National Gallery of Art ►►https://www.youtube.com/NationalGalleryofArtUS   National Gallery of Art Talks ►►https://www.youtube.com/NationalGalleryofArtTalks      ABOUT THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART     The National Gallery of Art serves the nation by welcoming all people to explore and experience art, creativity, and our shared humanity.     More National Gallery of Art Content: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nationalgalleryofart Twitter: https://twitter.com/ngadc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ngadc/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ngadc/_created/ E-News: https://mailchi.mp/nga.gov/signup
