Softcover. Yellow wraps pictorial wraps, 232 pp. 15 color, 231 bw plates. Underlying the American Renaissance was a desire to take selected elements of American and Western history and recombine them in new, eclectic ways in order to create a new American heritage that would provide a backdrop against which the pageant of a great civilization of the future could be staged. One of the intents of the American Renaissance was the unification of all the arts into one creative amalgamation that would encompass painting, sculpture, the decorative arts, architecture, and the setting, whether the garden or an urban landscape, as a unit. This book examines the various elements that went to make such a coherent aesthetic statement. Extensive illustrated essays organized as follows: Part 1 titled The Great Civilization, with chapters titled: Expressions of Identity; Cultural Conditions; Presence of the Pat; Scientific Eclecticism; and Periods and Organizations. Part II is titled Statements of Culture and has chapter titles as follows: Architecture, Landscape, and City Planning; Decorative Art: The Domestic Environment; and Painting and Sculpture. These essays are contributed by Richard Guy Wilson, Dianne H. Pilgrim and Richard N. Murray. Index follows the essays, and this is followed by the catalogue listing of 301 works included in the exhibition, 90 of which are illustrated in small bw plates. Includes 38 paintings, 43 sculptures, and assorted works on paper. An amazing exhibit.

"Captures the mood, the energy, of an age in transition -- the years between the two world wars. Although there were vast differences between the decades encompassed -- prosperity in the 1920s, depression in the 30s -- the machine was the principal motivating force in each. America, on the verge of a new art, and ultimately a new culture, had come into her own at last. From her great achievements in technology and industry would arise not simply a modern style, but an entirely new way of life."

Februar 1987 und anschließend an drei weiteren Orten gezeigt wurde. -"Fängt die Stimmung, die Energie eines Zeitalters im Übergang ein - die Jahre zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen. Obwohl es große Unterschiede zwischen den Jahrzehnten gab - Wohlstand in den 1920er Jahren, Depression in den 30er Jahren -, war die Maschine die Hauptantriebskraft in allen. Amerika, das an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Kunst und letztlich zu einer neuen Kultur stand, war endlich zu sich selbst gekommen. Aus seinen großen Errungenschaften in Technik und Industrie würde nicht nur ein moderner Stil, sondern eine völlig neue Lebensweise entstehen." - Guter Zustand.
