Through four diachronic case studies, the book reveals how the high-stakes politics of mobility and identity during this period informed the production and reception of works of art by Eastman Johnson (1824-1906), Enoch Wood Perry, Jr. (1831-1915), Thomas Hovenden (1840-1895), and John Sloan (1871-1951). It also complicates art history's canonical understandings of genre painting as a category that seeks to reinforce social hierarchies and emphasize more rooted connections to place by instead privileging portrayals of social flux and geographic instability. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, literature, American studies, and cultural geography"--Provided by publisher.Routledge research in art history.Genre painting, American19th centuryGenre painting, American754.097309034Baradel Lacey1982-1582858MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794470903321Mobility and identity in US genre painting3865562UNINA
