Geographic Tour of American Art History

Art prior to the establishment of the United States of America

Prior to the establishment of the United States there was already a rich history of art within the boundaries of its land mass. TFAO's online publication Resource Library contains a wealth of information on historic Native American art and European colonial art. Keyword searches in Resource Library will retrieve relevant articles and essays. For instance, a September, 2011 search entering "colonial" produced matches on 716 pages, "colonial American" 18 pages, "17th century" 88 pages, "Spanish colonial" 43 pages, and "pre-revolutionary" 66 pages.
