The American Heritage
Celebrating Fine Art in the American Tradition


This page includes links to artists, authors, composers, philosophers, churchmen and scholars who represent, in our view, the foundations of art, science, and religion in America. Though made up primarily of pre-moderns, we have added a select few contemporary individuals whose exceptional contributions to American art make them worthy of inclusion. This page is very much a work in progress. If you would like to suggest additional individuals who we may have overlooked, please send us an email.
