29. CROCKO_180713_250.JPG: Beekhuis Foundation Gallery Between about 1850 and 1920, Dutch artists were some of the most prized by American and European collectors. American artists and patrons traveled to the Netherlands and hosted Dutch painters on their visits to the United States. Like the art of the 19th-century Central Europe seen in the gallery nearby, Dutch painting of the period is currently being rediscovered in exhibitions and collections in Europe and the United States. This gallery explores two movements in 19th-century Dutch painting, Romanticism and the Hague School> In contrast to Romanticism in other European countries, which concentrated on emotional drama and transcendent nature, the Dutch movement focused on the artistic heritage of the Golden Age and national character. Artists even specialized in still life, landscape, or scenes of daily life as had their 17th-century predecessors, and reexamined peasant life which preserved ancient traditions. The emotions and natural beauty they sought to convey were contemplative. In the 1850s, a group of Dutch artists began to look towards the land in a different way. Like their friends and colleagues who worked near the village of Barbizon southeast of Paris, they focused newly on land itself presented in an unpretentious way. Especially interested in the effects of the soft Dutch light, they developed an expressive brushwork that could capture trees, grass, clouds and waves in modulated tones of brown, grey and green. Scattered throughout the country in the 1860s, the 1870 the group moved to the political capital and became known as the Hague School. A second generation of artists brought the group into the twentieth century, when many enjoyed royal patronage.

Wikipedia Description: Crocker Art Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crocker Art Museum, formerly the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery, is one of the leading arts institutions in California, and the longest continuously-operating art museum in the West. Located in Sacramento, California, the Museum hosts one of the state’s premier collections of Californian art. The collection contains works dating from the Gold Rush to the present day, a world-renowned collection of master drawings, European paintings, one of the largest and most comprehensive international ceramics collections in the U.S. and collections of Asian, African, and Oceanic art. In addition to its collections, the Crocker offers a variety of public programs.

History

In 1869, Edwin B. Crocker, a banker and landowner of great wealth, and Margaret Crocker began to assemble a significant collection of paintings and drawings during an extended trip to Europe just a year after their purchase of land on the corner of Third and O Street in the city of Sacramento. As a prominent California family, the Crockers supported many social and civic causes. Judge Crocker (1818–1875) served on the State Supreme Court. His brother was Charles Crocker, one of the “Big Four” railroad barons. In 1885, his widow, Margaret (1822–1901), fulfilled their shared vision of creating a public art museum when she presented the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery and collection to the City of Sacramento and the California Museum Association, “in trust for the public.” the contents of which were valued at the time at more than $500,000.000.

While the Crocker Art Museum had undertaken a series of renovations and additions since it first opened as a public museum 125 years ago, the facility could not keep pace with the Museum’s burgeoning collection and the growing population of Sacramento and California's Central Valley Region. In 2000, the Crocker began a master planning process with Gwathmey Siegel & Associates and in 2002 commissioned the firm to ...More...
