From natural wonders to the open road, the landscape has long been a muse in American art. Through objects from the colonial era to the present, (Un)Settled: The Landscape in American Art explores the rich, complicated, and evolving topic of the landscape across time. An array of diverse media and makers helps to redefine whose view is considered, ultimately revealing the many ways artists turn to their surroundings to reflect on larger topics such as national identity, land preservation, the complexity of cultural landscapes, and how location shapes our sense of self.
