American Art from 1850-1950 from the Taubman Permanent Collection focuses on the Museum’s holdings dating from the 19th through the early 20th centuries, in particular gifts from the Estate of Peggy Macdowell Thomas by great American realist Thomas Eakins, and treasures acquired through the generous funds provided by the Horace G. Fralin Charitable Trust by such artists as John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, and Thomas Hart Benton.
