During the Colonial era, artists began to create an American
identity in the art world. The drawings of explorer John White; the
maps of John Foster, American's first printmaker; the silverwork of
the famous patriot Paul Revere; the creations of America's first
professional woman artist, Henrietta Johnston; and the portraits of
John Singleton Copley all helped create a distinct culture in the
young colonies. This volume presents narrative chapters on the
lives of ten pioneers in Colonial American art. Each biographical
chapter traces the artistic development of these and other artists,
describing their masterworks and placing them within the artistic
traditions and cultural codes of the time. A plethora of
illustrations, including an 8-page color insert, provides an
invaluable look at Colonial American art. Chapter bibliographies, a
glossary of terms, a timeline, and a subject index provide
additional tools for students of art from the nation's earliest
years.
