Publisher's Note Jules David Prown begins the book by discussing the need for interdisciplinary approaches to broaden the study of western American art. Nancy K. Anderson then calls for a reconsideration of western art as art rather than documentation and for the adoption of new methods to probe its aesthetic, historical, political, and cultural complexities.
Industry Reviews A common theme of western American art is the transformation of the land through European-American exploration and resettlement. In this handsome volume (some 135 illustrations, many in color), published to coincide with an exhibition organized by the Yale U. Art Gallery and the Gilcrease Museum in Oklahoma, leading authorities look at western American art of the past three centuries, reevaluating it from the perspectives of history, art history, and American studies. 8.75x9.75 " Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
