Elenco degli Artisti Americani

L'arte Americana è l'arte visiva realizzata negli Stati Uniti o da artisti statunitensi.

Prima della colonizzazione, c'erano molte tradizioni fiorenti dell'arte dei nativi americani, e dove gli spagnoli colonizzarono l'architettura coloniale spagnola e gli stili di accompagnamento in altri media furono rapidamente messe in atto.

La prima arte coloniale sulla costa orientale si basava inizialmente su artisti europei, con John White (1540-1593) il primo esempio.

Tra la fine del XVIII e l'inizio del XIX secolo, gli artisti dipingevano principalmente ritratti e alcuni paesaggi in uno stile basato principalmente sulla pittura inglese.
