HANOVER, N.H. — The Hood Museum of Art will present “American Art at Dartmouth: Highlights from the Hood Museum of Art,” June 9–December 9.

American art has long been a mainstay of Dartmouth College’s collections, beginning with a gift in 1773 of a Boston-made silver bowl given by Royal Governor John Wentworth to Dartmouth’s founder, Eleazar Wheelock, in honor of its first commencement.

The largest selection of the American collections ever presented at the Hood, this exhibition showcases more than 100 paintings, sculptures, silver and other decorative arts to 1950.

Artists represented include Paul Revere, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Doughty, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Frederic Remington, Willard Metcalf, Maria Oakey Dewing, John Sloan, Augusta Savage, Paul Sample, Maxfield Parrish and Georgia O’Keeffe. An illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition.
