description
What does it mean to be an American artist? The book probes what it meant to be an American artist when the first art school and museum in the United States was founded and what it meant to be one by the late twentieth century, traversing two hundred years of creativity and change through over 100 significant works. Leading scholars explore rarely-studied histories in essays that contribute to an expanded picture of the nation and its artistic heritage.
