About the book
John Wilmerding has been instrumental in the acceptance of American painting as a special area of art history. In this collection of 19 essays that originally appeared in magazines or exhibition catalogs between 1968 and 1990, he places American art into its proper setting; and provides the literary, economic, philosophical, social, and political background to the works of art, helping the reader see that American art is a natural outgrowth of American ideas about the nation's identity. Among the 19th- and 20-century artists examined are Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, and George Bellows. ISBN 0-691-04090-7: $65.00 (For use only in the library).
