Description:
In this witty and eloquently written book David Lubin examines the work of six nineteenth-centruy American artists to show how their paintings both embraced and resisted dominant social values. In their art as well as in their lives, these artists were responding to the fiercest tensions of their era, among them the nation's ambivalence toward domesticity, its conflicting ideas about child rearing, its racial disharmony, and many other matters central to the formation of modern America.
