Description
Making American Artists presents 100 iconic American works of art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' collection.
This lavishly illustrated publication offers groundbreaking re-interpretations of American art through essays focusing on the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' impressive historical and modern collections. Texts by leading scholars highlight the significant contributions made by Black, women, and LGBTQ+ artists, whose careers were nurtured at PAFA.
What does it mean to be an American artist? The book probes this question by examining what it meant to be an American artist from the time the first art school and museum in the United States was founded, to the late twentieth century. It traverses 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.
