Beginning with the European colonists who brought their artistic traditions with them, the author traces the evolution of American painting through its unique cultural and social circumstances. The book examines the tension between an imported, established style and the emergence of a distinctive American artistic vision, exemplified by the differing careers of Copley and Gilbert Stuart. The text also analyzes the rise of genre painting, the influence of folk art, and the impact of landscape painting on the American consciousness. Ultimately, this book provides a fresh perspective on the development of American painting and its profound connections to the shaping of the nation's cultural identity.
