Answer: Well, if they could recognize these painters, they really would be well educated. Unfortunately, students educated in American public schools are far more familiar with Western European painters. There are many more painters I would include in this list but can not for fear of violating copyrights. Artists like Fritz Scholder, he is also an exquisite painter but I haven't any jpgs. of his work.

By North American you seem to mean U.S.A.
ReplyDeleteYes, most Canadians refer to themselves as Canadians. However, many people in the U.S. often refer to themselves as Americans in general. It's just a way to identify a post... I could have titled the post something like "Famous painters from the U.S." but saying they are from North America is just one kind of filing on the web; both are just as applicable but, one is filed differently in the search engines.
