SynopsisHere are 20 outstanding works of recent scholarship on the history of the visual arts in the United States from the colonial period to 1945. Employing many interpretive methodologies, contributors combine close analysis of specific art objects or groups of objects with discussion of how these works of art operated within their cultural contexts. 163 illustrations., This anthology brings together 20 works of scholarship on the history of the visual arts in the United States from the colonial period to 1945. The selected essays - all written within the last two decades - reflect the interdisciplinary character of art historiography in America and the variety of approaches that contribute to the dynamism in the field. The authors take up diverse subjects - from colonial portraits to 19th-century sculptures of women to photographic images of New York - and invite those with a general knowledge of the history of American art to think more deeply about art and culture.
