Abstract:At its height, the American Art-Union (1838–52) boasted nearly 19,000 members from almost every state; it distributed engravings to all members and nearly 3,000 original works of art. While the Art-Union’s impact has been acknowledged, the exact nature of its influence has been difficult to discern. This article analyzes extensive data through interactive maps, timelines, and charts that show not only the institution’s broad reach, but also its unexpected role in fostering the landscape school that shaped US art throughout the nineteenth century.
