This catalog, published in celebration of the sesquicentennial of the 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, shows the vitality of the arts in the Golden State during the latter nineteenth century and documents the dramatic impact of the Gold Rush on the American imagination. Among the throngs of gold-seekers in California were artists, many self-taught, others formally trained, and their arrival produced an outpouring of artistic works that provide insights into Gold Rush events, personages, and attitudes. The best-known painting of the Gold Rush era, C.C. Nahl's Sunday Morning in the Mines (1872), was created nearly two decades after gold fever had subsided. By then the Gold Rush's mythic qualities were well established, and new allegories-particularly the American belief in the rewards of hard work and enterprise-can be seen on Nahl's canvas. Other works added to the image of California as a destination for ambitious dreamers, an image that prevails to this day. In bringing together a range of art and archival material such as artists' diaries and contemporary newspaper articles, The Art of the Gold Rush broadens our understanding of American culture during a memorable period in the nation's history. 606 $aArt, American$zCalifornia$y19th century$vExhibitions 606 $aGold mines and mining in art 607 $aCalifornia$xGold discoveries$vPictorial works$vExhibitions 610 $a1800s. 610 $a19th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aambition. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aartistic. 610 $aartists. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $afolk art. 610 $afolklore. 610 $aget rich. 610 $agold rush. 610 $agold. 610 $agolden state. 610 $aimagination. 610 $amyth. 610 $apaintings. 610 $aprospector. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial change. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $asunday morning in the mines. 610 $asutters mill. 610 $athrill seeking. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aus history. 615 0$aArt, American 615 0$aGold mines and mining in art. 676 $a759.194/07494 700 $aDriesbach$b Janice Tolhurst$01492665 701 $aJones$b Harvey$f1935-$01492666 701 $aHolland$b Katherine Church$01492667 712 02$aOakland Museum. 712 02$aCrocker Art Museum. 712 02$aNational Museum of American Art (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778865003321 996 $aArt of the gold rush$93715290 997 $aUNINA
