Architects such as Jefferson, Latrobe and Bulfinch knew that they were building a new nation; painters such as Copley and Sully that they were painting its history. And later came the landscape and genre artists who took America itself as their theme. Twice in the last hundred years American artists have led the world: in architecture in about 1890, when the Chicago School created style which was one of the main sources of the modern movement; and in painting in the years since l940, especially in New York, which has seen the birth of Abstract Expressionism, hard-edge abstraction and other influential trends. Dr. McLanathan shows how both these creative peaks could have been reached only in America.". Seller Inventory # 001229
