The National Academy"s THE ANNUAL 2014: REDEFINING TRADITION brings together multiple generations of National Academicians and creates a constellation that illuminates affinities, connections, differences, and most importantly a relevant continuum of American art and architecture. The Annual is one of the first showcases of contemporary American art. Created by the Academy founders -- Samuel F.B. Morse, Thomas Cole, Asher Brown Durand -- the exhibition was the principal, and for many years the only outlet for American artists and architects to exhibit their work. As a celebration of the diverse contributions of the Academy"s members, The Annual continues an important survey of contemporary American art. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Annual 2014
