About this product
Product Information
Representations of first contact--the first meetings of European explorers and Native Americans--have always had a central place in our nation's historical and visual record. They have also had a key role in shaping and interpreting that record. In Framing First Contact author Kate Elliott looks at paintings by artists from George Catlin to Charles M. Russell and explores what first contact images tell us about the process of constructing national myths--and how those myths acquired different meanings at different points in our nation's history. First contact images, with their focus on beginnings rather than conclusive action or determined outcomes, might depict historical events in a variety of ways. Elliott argues that nineteenth-century artists, responding to the ambiguity and indeterminacy of the subject, used the visualized space between cultures meeting for the first time to address critical contemporary questions and anxieties. Taking works from the 1840s through the 1910s as case studies--paintings by Robert W. Weir, Thomas Moran, and Albert Bierstadt, along with Catlin and Russell--Elliott shows how many first contact representations, especially those commissioned and conceived as official history, speak blatantly of conquest, racial superiority, and imperialism. Yet others communicate more nuanced messages that might surprise contemporary viewers. Elliott suggests it was the very openness of the subject of first contact that allowed artists, consciously or not, to speak of contemporary issues beyond imperialism and conquest. Uncovering those issues, Framing First Contact forces us to think about why we tell the stories we do, and why those stories matter.

Reviews
" Framing First Contact adeptly weaves subtle formal analysis and precise attention to historical particulars into a scholarly treatise on an underappreciated, albeit essential, portion of the American art canon and national identity."-- South Dakota History, "The book is thoughtful and finely produced with all the pictures examined shown within the text. Westerners interested in cultural and artistic themes, even though they may have book containing many of the picture chosen, should welcome this volume for its literary acumen."--- English Westerners Society

This book has plenty of information but very little to help with identification of glassware. Great for historical information in particular.
