Overview: 70 landscape paintings were displayed in this survey of the work of American painter Sanford R. Gifford, the first exhibition dedicated to the artist in more than 30 years.

A special 8-part series of lectures on landscape painting presented by staff and visiting lecturers was held in conjunction with the exhibition.

The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The curators were Franklin Kelly, senior curator of American and British paintings at the National Gallery, and Kevin J. Avery, associate curator, with the assistance of Claire A.
