Framing America: A Social History of American Art, 3rd Edition

This new edition of the first introductory American art survey text to take a completely inclusive approach introduces a wealth of new images ranging from the early years of the encounter of native peoples with Europeans to low-cost and environmentally friendly architecture in the years post-Katrina. Offering students comprehensive engagement with the social, cultural, and historical context of American visual culture, the text also provides a thorough introduction to mainstream and canonical art and, for the first time, a glossary.
