Americans American Indians represent less than 1 percent of the US population, yet names and images of Indians are everywhere: military weapons, town names, advertising and that holiday in November. Americans invites visitors to take a closer look and to ask why. Featuring nearly 350 objects and images, from a Tomahawk missile to baking powder cans, Americans examines the staying power of four stories - Thanksgiving, Pocahontas, the Trail of Tears and the Battle of Little Bighorn - that are woven into the fabric of both American history and contemporary life. By highlighting what has been remembered, contested, cherished, and denied about these stories and why they continue to resonate, this exhibition shows that Americans have always been fascinated, conflicted and profoundly shaped by their relationship to American Indians. National Museum of the American Indian, ongoing.

Ten Americans After Paul Klee The exhibition explores the seminal role of Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1879–1940) in the development of mid-20th century American art. Ten Americans sheds new light on important figures in American Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painting who adapted aspects of Klee’s art and ideology into their own artistic development. Featuring more than 60 paintings, prints and drawings from collections in the US and Switzerland, the exhibition is the first to feature work by Klee in dialogue with William Baziotes, Gene Davis, Adolph Gottlieb, Norman Lewis, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, Jackson Pollock, Theodoros Stamos, Mark Tobey and Bradley Walker Tomlin. Phillips Collection, through May 6.

Cézanne Portraits Bringing together some 60 examples drawn from collections around the world, Cézanne Portraits is the first exhibition devoted to the famed post impressionist’s portraits. The revelatory exhibition provides the first full visual account of Paul Cézanne’s portrait practice, exploring the pictorial and thematic characteristics of his works in the genre, the chronological development of his style and method and the range and influence of his sitters. Several paintings are exclusive to the National Gallery of Art’s presentation, while some works have never before been exhibited in the United States. National Gallery of Art, West Building, Mar 25 through July 1.

Outliers and American Vanguard Art Some 300 works explore three distinct periods in American history when mainstream and outlier artists intersected, ushering in new paradigms based on inclusion, integration and assimilation. The exhibition aligns work by such diverse artists as Charles Sheeler, Christina Ramberg and Matt Mullican with both historic folk art and works by self-taught artists ranging from Horace Pippin to Janet Sobel and Joseph Yoakum. It also examines a recent influx of radically expressive work made on the margins that redefined the boundaries of the mainstream art world, while challenging the very categories of “outsider” and “self-taught.” Historicizing the shifting identity and role of this distinctly American version of modernism’s “other,” the exhibition probes assumptions about creativity, artistic practice and the role of the artist in contemporary culture. National Gallery of Art, East Building, through May 13.
