Artist and Identity in Twentieth-Century America (Contemporary Artists and their Critics)

Artist and Identity in Twentieth-Century America (Contemporary Artists and their Critics)

Matthew Baigell
3/5 ( ratings)
Matthew Baigell examines the work of Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, Frank Stella, and other artists, relating their art works to the social contexts in which they were created. Identifying important and recurring themes in this body of art, such as the persistence of Emersonian values, the search for national and regional identity, and aspects of alienation, he also explores the personal and religious identities of artists as revealed in their works. Collectively, Baigell's work demonstrates the importance of America as the defining element in American art.
