COMING IN NOVEMBER 2019 Inventing Acadia: Landscape Painting in Louisiana 1800–1900 explores the rise of landscape painting in the state during the 19th century. As the first major exhibition of Louisiana landscape paintings in more than forty years, Inventing Acadia will reveal the state’s role in creating a new vision for American landscape art, vastly different than that to be found in the rest of the nation. Offering a newly expansive view of the American landscape and its people, Inventing Acadia is the only exhibition that has ever placed Louisiana landscape painting in a wider national and international context, and will feature more than sixty works from private and public collections across Louisiana, Europe, and the broader United States.
