Encyclopedia of American Art before 1914

"The Encyclopedia of American Art before 1914, the first volume in the series Grove Encyclopedias of the Arts of the Americas, covers all the major artistic developments in the USA from the early Colonial period until 1914, with the start of World War I. From pioneering artists, such as John White, who recorded the native flora, fauna and peoples of the early Virginia and North Carolina settlements, to the pivotal 1913 Armory Show, the entries chart the evolution of artistic traditions in the emerging American nation."--Jacket.
