American Artist


American Artist

America is full of art and famous artists. New York City is considered the center of the art market. Some American art is over 12,000 years old, and is found in cave paintings, but little is known of these American artists except for the artifacts and cave paintings they have left behind. Most of the American art which we recognize today comes from the Colonists who settled here and their descendants, and immigrant artists who became known as American artists.
