This comprehensive new three-volume guide to the early art and
artists of Ohio is a compendium of hard-to-find information The
result of more than twelve years of research in community archives,
newspapers, business directories, census returns, genealogical
records, and manuscripts, Artists in Ohio, 1787-1900 is the most
ambitious and complete attempt ever made to document the state's
artistic origins and growth.
The authors have uncovered and remedied innumerable gaps and
errors in standard reference works. They have also brought to light
new information about thousands of forgotten men and women, once
well known in their communities, who achieved success in either the
fine arts or the decorative and "practical" arts of photograph,
ornamental penmanship, tombstone carving, china painting,
illustrating, cartooning, and the execution of panoramas and
theatrical scenery.
More than 13,000 entries are filled with factual details that
will be indispensable to art scholars, genealogists, museum
professionals, and historians, as well as to private and
institutional collectors of American paintings, sculpture, prints,
and photographs, and anyone with an interest in the local and
regional history of the nineteenth-century Midwest. Each entry is
documented, cross-referenced, and backed up by two bibliographies
and an appendix devoted to art organizations, schools, major
expositions, and collaborative works.
