This exhibition and its accompanying catalogue explores the often uneasy relationship between the art of easel painting and the art of illustration. It focuses on artists who were an important part of the history of the narrative tradition in American culture and who practiced both easel painting and illustration in the years between 1850 and 1950. Among the artists represented are Winslow Homer, N.C. Wyeth, Frederick Remington, John Sloan, Grant Wood, and Rockwell Kent. The exhibition is organized by guest curator Richard Boyle and the New Britain Museum of American Art (Connecticut). The presentation of this exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum is supported by the Davenport Family Fund for Exhibitions.

View nineteen ladies’ fans that span the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries from the du Pont family collection. Ladies’ hand fans were first created for cooling purposes, and later evolved to become an integral part of a lady’s costume. On display will be striking pieces like a hand-painted Tiffany fan with mother-of-pearl sticks and lace embellishments and another made of carved ivory and duck feathers. Some fans have stories to tell like the tourist fan that serves as a travel log or the “scrap” fan (made in the technique of scrap-booking) that illustrates some local history. Variations of design, materials, embellishments, and style make these fans both intriguing and beautiful. This exhibit is on display in the du Pont family ancestral home, Eleutherian Mills, at Hagley Museum and Library. The exhibit is included in regular admission and tour.
