An introduction to the rich and diverse art of California, this
book highlights its distinctive role in the history of American
art, from early-20th-century photography to Chicanx mural painting,
the Fiber Art Movement and beyond. Shaped by a compelling network
of geopolitical influences including waves of migration and
exchange from the Pacific Rim and Mexico, the influx of African
Americans immediately after World War II, and global immigration
after quotas were lifted in the 1960s, California is a centre of
artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical
boundaries. Furthermore, California was at the forefront of radical
developments in artistic culture, most notably conceptual art and
feminism, and its education system continues to nurture and
encourage avant-garde creativity. Organized chronologically and
thematically with illustrations throughout, this attractive study
stands as an important reassessment of California's contribution to
modern and contemporary art in the United States and globally. With
168 illustrations in colour
