The museum says that this is the first major exhibit  in America to explore the visual culture of American hunting and fishing in  painting and sculpture from the early 19th Century to World War II. The show includes works by Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent, as well as by  such specialist sporting artists as Charles Deas, Alfred Jacob Miller, Carl Rungius and Arthur Fitzwilliam  Tait and modernist interpretations of these subjects by George Bellows and Marsden Hartley, among others.
