Seller's Description:
VG-(Cut-out on dj may be torn at edges but could be fixed; few marks from previous gallery owner; bottom edge of binding is dinged in two spots. ) Brown faux-leather boards, color illus. dust jacket with cut-out to reveal title on binding; 184 pp., 50+ illus., chiefly in color. Issued in conjunction with a 2003 exhibition on the topic. After the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago, the city's artists found themselves looking "back at an imagined, idyllic past and romantic Indian heroes, and forward to an equally utopian future in which American culture would rediscover its soul through contact with 'authentic' native peoples and artistic expressions. A number of important patrons--politicans, businessmen, museum directors--supported these artists in their quest to depict the West and Southwest....[This book] provides a focused social and cultural history of the role played by Chicago artists and patrons in the evolution of a visual language for depicting the landscape and people of the American West. These works of art both reflected and influenced the nation's perspective on its land, people, and history." (dj).
