Art in the Colonies
During the 17th century, American colonists had little
time for art. They produced only objects needed for daily
life. As prosperity grew during the 18th century, however,
they began to commission portraits to decorate their homes,
to mark special events, to pass on to their children, and to
send back to their relatives in Europe.
