Description

Struggling to create an identity distinct from the European tradition but lacking an established system of support, early painting in America received little cultural acceptance in its own country or abroad. Yet despite the initial indifference with which it was first met, American art flourished against the odds and founded the aesthetic consciousness that we equate with American art today. In this exhilarating study David Rosand shows how early American painters transformed themselves from provincial followers of the established traditions of Europe into some of the most innovative and influential artists in the world. Moving beyond simple descriptions of what distinguishes American art from other movements and forms, The Invention of Painting in America explores not only the status of artists and their personal relationship to their work but also the larger dialogue between the artist and society. Rosand looks to the intensely studied portraits of America's early painters-especially Copley and Eakins and the landscapes of Homer and Inness, among others-each of whom grappled with conflicting cultural attitudes and different expressive styles in order to reinvent the art of painting. He discusses the work of Davis, Gorky, de Kooning, Pollock, Rothko, and Motherwell and the subjects and themes that engaged them. While our current understanding of America's place in art is largely based on the astonishing success of a handful of mid-twentieth-century painters, Rosand unearths the historical and artistic conditions that both shaped and inspired the phenomenon of Abstract Expressionism. Review Readers will be reinspired, and their souls and minds reinvented...Highly recommended.--Choice Within the modest confines of this trim and attractive volume...Columbia art historian Rosand...tells the big story of how American painting grew and struggled from colonial obscurity to its stunning mid-20th-century coming-of-age.--Publishers Weekly An academic treatise that will stimulate artists and fellow scholars.--Stephen May "American Arts Quarterly " Indispensable...Rosand provides a unifying, and uniquely satisfying, view of painting in America.--Margaret Moorman "Columbia Magazine " About the Author David Rosand is Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History at Columbia University. He is the author of several books, including The Meaning of the Mark: Leonardo and Titian; Painting in Sixteenth-Century Venice: Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto; Robert Motherwell on Paper: Drawings, Prints, Collages; Myths of Venice: The Figuration of a State; and Drawing Acts: Studies in Graphic Expression and Representation.
