George Washington “stands at the fulcrum” of this story, written by historian Hugh Howard.
“When he was born, the New World had virtually no artists, and few colonials had ever seen a painting. Within Washington’s lifetime, a cultural transformation occurred. Painting...assumed a broad new presence in a country whose citizens...explored the life of the mind by pursuing new intellectual and artistic taste.”
