The decision to separate English and American painting from the Euopean mainstream, is an execption to the rule that the museum uses the Janson History of Art as it's model organization. American art can't be understood in terms of what was happening in Europe. The French may have helped the Anericans win the Revolutionary War, but the people in the United States were mostly of British stock, and everyone looked toward England as the guide. And that guide was pretty conservative as far as art was concerned.
