Although some determining factors in American art are considered, Matthew Baigell views the rich and diverse achievements of American art as the result of the efforts and talents of a pluralistic society rather than as fitting into a particular mold.This edition includes corrections and revisions to the text, an updated bibliography, and 13 new illustrations.

Dust jacket notes: "Shortly after the Crash of 1929, revulsion from European art and culture and revived interest in rural and regional life prompted the growth of the 'American Scene,' an artistic movement founded on renewed belief in the strength and promise of America. Most of the American Scene painters were impoverished by the Depression and welcomed the chance to take a turn on one of another of the government aid programs. Many of them espoused radical causes, while others retained their faith in the traditional American system. Yet, despite stylistic and political differences, the artists who shared these experiences helped to crate a sense of community denied to earlier American artists, and their work has a unity of mood and feeling that is striking and evocative. For this reason, when images of the 1930's come to mind, they often have their source in American Scene paintings, which reflect so vividly a lost America and American way of life.

Praeger, New York, NY

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.
