Synopsis

"Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History", hailed as one of the most engrossing and stimulating art history texts to come along for years by "The Times Higher Education Supplement", embraces many aspects of the so-called new art history attention to issues of class and gender, reception and spectatorship, racism and Eurocentrism, popular and elite culture while at the same time recovering the remarkable vitality, salience and subversiveness of the era's best art. This new fourth edition includes four revised chapters together with a substantially expanded chapter on Photography, Modernity and Art. With 245 illustrations now in colour, including over a dozen brand new images, this rich and diverse volume will interest students, specialists and anyone fascinated by this dynamic period.

From Library Journal:

The political, industrial, and cultural revolutions that punctuated the 19th century were reflected in the fine arts, though not always consciously. Art was no longer the sole domain of the upper classes, and the complexity of the new social order became evident in the works of artists like Blake and Goya early in the century and Cassatt and Eakins later on. In this first comprehensive reconsideration of 19th-century art from the viewpoint of the "new" art history, Eisenman and four other art historians examine issues of class, gender, racism, and Eurocentrism as they pertain to North American and European art. This handsomely produced volume, rich in ideas and illustrations, complements the works of Albert Boime (e.g., The Art of Exclusion: Representing Blacks in the Nineteenth Century, Smithsonian, 1990). Of interest to scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
