Framing America : a social history of American art / Francis K. Pohl

London ; New York. N.Y. : Thames & Hudson 2002. First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight. bright. clean and especially sharp-cornered.

Summary: For more than a generation. critics and scholars have been revising and expanding the customary definition of American art. A tradition once assumed to be mainly European and oriented towards painting and sculpture has been enriched by the inclusion of other media and the work of previously marginalized cultural groups. Now. in a brilliant combination of original scholarship and synthesis. Praming America provides the first comprehensive survey of this new. enlarged vision of American art. Here are the many strands of North America's history and visual culture: the first contacts of the Spanish with the Aztecs and other Native Americans; the post-Revolutionary definition of nationhood; the visionary feeling for landscape and nature; the images of social and military conflict of the 19th century; and the tempering of the 20th century's heady plunge into Modernism. Framing America's consistent presentation of the resonance between art and history offers a coherent sense of the evolution of a new. generously defined conception of American art. Contents: Art and conquest -- Defining America -- Nature and nation -- A nation at war -- Work and art redefined -- The machine. the primitive. and the modern -- Art for the people. art against Fascism -- From Cold War to culture wars. Subjects: Art and society - America - History. Art and society - United States. Art. American - History. Art - United States - History.ISBN: 0500237921.
