| Summary |
"In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, depictions of New England flooded the American art scene. Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, Julian Weir, and other well-known artists produced images of quaint villages, agricultural labor, scenic rural churches, and the distinctive New England landscape. Julia B. Rosenbaum asks why and how a range of artists - including Impressionist and Modernist painters and sculptors - and exhibitors fashioned this particular vision of New England in their work." |
|
"Illustrated with color plates and almost sixty halftones, Visions of Belonging explores the interplay between art objects and the shaping of loyalties and identities in a formative phase of American culture. It will appeal not only to art historians but also to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century studies, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, American studies, New England history and culture, and American cultural and intellectual history."--Jacket. |
