I guess this is another promotional diary for NN 14. The Rivera Court at the Detroit Institute of Art is spectacular in itself, but the rest of the collection is every bit as excellent. You won't be surprised to know that I concentrated on the galleries of American Art while I was there, and it's only because it was on this trip I learned that you bring your phone charger with you every time you're out with your smartphone. I liked some of the early 20th century decorative art too. Incidentally, two of these paintings are paintings I use in the classroom to illustrate certain points.
I'll use some of the pictures I took and some taken by professionals, of five paintings by American artists, painted between 1780 and 1870. Each with some significance.
