Eminent art historian Charles C. Eldredge brings together top
scholars to celebrate forgotten artists and create a more inclusive
history of American art. Why do some artists become canonical,
while others, equally respected in their time, fall into obscurity?
This question is central to The Unforgettables, a vibrant
collection of essays by leading experts on American art. Each
contributor presents a brief for an artist deserving of new or
renewed attention, including artists from the colonial era to
recent years working in a wide variety of mediums. Histories of
American art have traditionally highlighted the work of a familiar
roster of artists, largely white and male. The achievements of
their peers, notably women and artists of color, have gone
uncelebrated. The essays in this volume provide a new and richer
understanding of American art, expanding the canon to include many
worthy talents. A number of these artists were acclaimed in their
day; others, having missed that acclaim, may achieve it now. With
contributions from major scholars and museum professionals, The
Unforgettables rescues and revises reputations as it enhances and
enriches the history of American art.
