The Representation of the Struggling Artist in America, 1800-1865
analyzes how American painters, sculptors, and writers, active
between 1800 and 1865, depicted their response to a democratic
society that failed to adequately support them financially and
intellectually. Without the traditional European forms of patronage
from the church or the crown, American artists faced unsympathetic
countrymen who were unaccustomed to playing the role of patron and
less than generous in rewarding creativity. It was in this
unrewarding landscape that American artists in the first half of
the nineteenth century employed the "struggling" or "starving
artist" image to satirize the country's lack of patronage and
immortalize their own struggles. Through an examination of artists'
journals, letters, and biographies as well as the development of
art academies and exhibition venues, this study traces the
evolution of a young nation that went from considering artists as
mere craftsmen to recognizing them as important members of a
civilized society.
