Celebrating American Artists

This 4th of July weekend, how about a brush up on American art history? Many artists and art movements have come out of the United States and are continuing to inspire even more. Over the past 238 years, there have been thousands of American artists, but, rather than attempting to name them all, here is a small few of some of our country's most beloved artists. 

Hope you all have a happy and safe fourth!
