A rich exploration of American artworks that reframes them within
current debates on race, gender, the environment, and more Object
Lessons in American Art explores a diverse gathering of
Euro-American, Native American, and African American art from a
range of contemporary perspectives, illustrating how innovative
analysis of historical art can inform, enhance, and afford new
relevance to artifacts of the American past. The book is grounded
in the understanding that the meanings of objects change over time,
in different contexts, and as a consequence of the ways in which
they are considered. Inspired by the concept of the object lesson,
the study of a material thing or group of things in juxtaposition
to convey embodied and underlying ideas, Object Lessons in American
Art examines a broad range of art from Princeton University's
venerable collections as well as contemporary works that
imaginatively appropriate and reframe their subjects and style,
situating them within current social, cultural, and artistic
debates on race, gender, the environment, and more. Distributed for
the Princeton University Art Museum
