America as Art

This compact history traces the progress of the fine arts in America from ca. 1670 to the present day. The book describes changing definitions of art as much as it describes art itself, and shows how the shifting forms of patronage affected the forms of art. Taylor analyzes artists' associations and demonstrates how museums and schools have expanded the audience for art, placing artists and their work in cultural context through an examination of the social history of art.
