Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the early development of the arts of design in the United States, starting with the arrival of the first artists from Europe to the colonies. The author uses biographical sketches of artists and their work to chart the evolution of these artistic traditions in America, focusing on painting, sculpture, architecture, and engraving. The text explores the challenges faced by artists in the colonies, where patronage was largely dependent on wealthy individuals and the prevailing societal view of art as a decorative craft rather than a high art form. The author also addresses the unique circumstances surrounding the development of art in a nascent nation, free from the constraints of European aristocracy and its patronage system. The book is a fascinating exploration of the roots of American art and its relationship to the broader artistic and cultural movements of its time, offering a glimpse into the early artistic landscape of the United States and the individuals who helped shape its artistic identity.
