"Five great American museums have pooled their outstanding works to create an unequaled survey of art in the United States from prehistory to the present day, a glorious treasury of American creativity. It follows many of the strands that have been woven into the pattern of American society, its cultural richness springing from the diversity of its citizenry." "Here are masterpieces of painting, sculpture, photography, crafts, and the decorative arts from The Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; The Minneapolis Institute of Arts; The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri; The Saint Louis Art Museum; and The Toledo Museum of Art." "Here is the finest of Native American pottery, basketry, and beadwork." "Here is silver by Paul Revere II, a Baltimore album quilt, glass by Tiffany Studios, and furniture by Frank Lloyd Wright." "Here are paintings by George Caleb Bingham, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Romare Bearden, Andrew Wyeth, Jackson Pollock, Ellsworth Kelly, and Andy Warhol." "Here are sculptures by Frederic Remington, Paul Manship, David Smith, and Alexander Calder." "Here are photographs by Timothy O'Sullivan, Edward Steichen, Gertrude Kasebier, Alfred Stieglitz, Lewis W. Hine, James Van Der Zee, Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Robert Frank, and Diane Arbus." "Here, in 162 full-color plates, is the wonderful panorama of American art in a richly produced presentation certain to appeal to all lovers of art and Americana. Its eight sections are introduced by brief essays that provide a succinct view of the social and artistic context for the works of art." "Made in America: Ten Centuries of American Art was written by twenty-seven authorities from the curatorial staffs of the participating museums, each of which is hosting the two-year touring exhibition of the same works."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... for its higher branches had completely decayed. Towards the end of the 18th century, the efforts of Mengs succeeded by those of the French painter David, both aiming at a return to a dead classicism, a revival of Grecian forms, with which the age could have no intimate sympathy, led to nothing better than the style of the Napoleon era; which, except as marking an historical epoch, is utterly contemptible. In the meantime, Reynolds, in England, had once more made a direct appeal to nature, from which, notwithstanding the mannerism he adopted in carrying it out, European art may date its second revival; for, although the painting of the French "romantic" school, who have superseded the frigid Grecianisms of David and his followers, cannot be termed imitators of the initiative given by Reynolds, they were yet, chronologically speaking, his followers. Reynolds's attempt was considered absurd by the artists in vogue at the time; and Ellis, the fashionable portrait painter of the day, is reported to have attempted to drive him from his new course, by exclaiming "Shakspeare in poetry, Sir, and Kneller in painting!" a juxta-position which Reynolds was, however, not willing to allow. Immediately following Reynolds were portrait painters, such as Opie and others, who followed his style; but the frigid compositions of West, for whose works the really great genius of Barry was neglected, were in vogue at the same time, and though Northcote promised better things, the taste for the chilly monotonous works of Westall, Howard, and others, prevailed. It may easily be conceived how unsettled was the public taste in England at the close of the 18th, and beginning of the 19th centuries, when we find the eccentric productions of Fuseli, ...

Alison Tokita presents a series of case studies that demonstrate the persistence of Japanese sung narratives in a multiplicity of genres over ten centuries together with factors contributing to change in narrative performance. Narratives that were continually re-told and recycled in different versions and formats over a long period of time served to build people's sense of a common identity over space (the geographical extent of 'Japan') and time (the enduring power of many specific narratives). The elements of variation and change relate to the move away from oral narrative to text-based performance, and from a simple narrative situation with one performer to complex theatrical narratives with dancers, singers and other musicians. Tokita includes substantial musical analysis and exploration of theoretical issues, as well as documentation of important performance traditions, all of which are extant.
