American folk art may be remarkable for the cultural clues it holds, but these often become elusive when the artworks are removed from the context of their creation.
The result is AmericanAnthem, a chronological (albeit loose) exploration of American folk art from the colonial period through the present, as seen through highlights from the museums collection.
As American folk art is, by its very nature, inclusive of the full range of American experience, the subtext of AmericanAnthem is necessarily one of acknowledged omissions that mirror, to an extent, the slights of American history itself.
