About

Revolution Reconsidered: History, Myth, and Propaganda explores how visual representations of the American Revolution became, and remain, potent carriers of national history and identity. Beginning with Dartmouth's role in the Revolutionary era, the exhibition revisits well-known images of the American Revolution and traces the reappearance and repurposing of Revolutionary imagery to the present day. It asks how each generation reshapes our understanding of US art and history.

This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and generously supported by the Philip Fowler 1927 Memorial Fund.
