About this product
Product Information
Randall Griffin's book examines the ways in which artists and critics sought to construct a new identity for America during the era dubbed the Gilded Age because of its leaders' taste for opulence. Artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Thomas Anshutz explored alternative "American" themes and styles, but widespread belief in the superiority of European art led them and their audiences to look to the Old World for legitimacy. This rich, never-resolved contradiction between the native and autonomous, on the one hand, and, on the other, the European and borrowed serves as the armature of Griffin's innovative look at how and why the world of art became a key site in the American struggle for identity. Not only does Griffin trace the interplay of issues of nationalism, class, and gender in American culture, but he also offers insightful readings of key paintings by Eakins and other canonical artists. Further, Griffin shows that by 1900 the nationalist project in art and criticism had helped open the way for the formulation of American modernism. Homer, Eakins, and Anshutz will be of importance to all those interested in American culture as well as to specialists in art history and art criticism.

Reviews
"Homer, Eakins, and Anshutz is an important contribution to the field of nineteenth-century American art history. Randall Griffin argues that nationalistic concerns in art led to a perceptible shift in subject matter in painting. The new paintings displayed a remarkably large range of subjects, as evidenced by works as different as Thomas Eakins's Swimming Hole and Winslow Homer's beloved Adirondack pictures. As Griffin describes in cogent detail, they all bear on or issue out of the question of how 'American-ness' can be construed in relation to the enormous weight of European influence and artistic traditions." -Anthony Lee, Mount Holyoke College, "Homer, Eakins, and Anshutz is an important contribution to the field of nineteenth-century American art history.

Pages 1-3 is missing from this book. I contacted seller and they insist that I should pay for return shipping of this book and they would refund me my purchase price and not the shipping to me or from me! all that I want is for them to check that they have a complete book with no missing pages and send it to me. That I thought was reasonable. since they don't want to help me I told them that I would notify eBay customer support. Please help me. Thanks, David Bogedin
