We welcome you to explore a selection of the over 150 illustrators in our American Imagists collection. While it is not a comprehensive listing of our artists nor all of their artworks in the collection, we hope to give you a sense of the depth of these illustrators' quality and importance to our American heritage. 

The artists and their artworks currently on display at the NMAI will change with the exhibitions, therefore all the artworks you see on this page will not always be on display.
