The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture : Volume 21: Art and Architecture Paperback / softback
Edited by Estill Curtis Pennington
Part of the The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
From the Potomac to the Gulf, artists were creating in the South even before it was recognized as a region.
The South has contributed to America's cultural heritage with works as diverse as Benjamin Henry Latrobe's architectural plans for the nation's Capitol, the wares of the Newcomb Pottery, and Richard Clague's tonalist Louisiana bayou scenes.
This comprehensive volume shows how, through the decades and centuries, the art of the South expanded from mimetic portraiture to sophisticated responses to national and international movements.
The essays treat historic and current trends in the visual arts and architecture, major collections and institutions, and biographies of artists themselves.
As leading experts on the region's artists and their work, editors Judith H.
Bonner and Estill Curtis Pennington frame the volume's contributions with insightful overview essays on the visual arts and architecture in the American South.
