This exhibition explores the connections between American and French lithography in the early days of this printing technology. Themes include the circulation and reproduction of French imagery in the United States, the stylistic contributions of French lithographic artists who immigrated to America, and the reproduction of American genre paintings by French publishers for distribution in Europe and the United States.
The Davis Museum at Wellesley College exhibited With a French Accent: French and American Lithography Before 1860, from March 14-June 3, 2012. This exhibition was funded by the Florence Gould Foundation of New York with support from the Marjorie Schechter Bronfman ’38 and Gerald Bronfman Endowment for Works on Paper at Wellesley College. From September 6-November 8, 2013, the exhibition traveled to the Musée Goupil in Bordeaux, France through the generosity of the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The exhibition catalogue With a French Accent: American Lithography to 1860 is available in French from Oak Knoll
