New in the renowned World of Art series, this is a concise,
reliable introduction to the history of American art and
architecture from its 17th-century colonial beginnings to the
latest installation and video work. Structured chronologically, the
book not only discusses all the key artists and architects, art
works and buildings, but also succinctly defines the
characteristics of the different periods. Lewis charts the way
American artists and architects have both adopted and diverged from
earlier European models to create a language of their own, and
shows how that language has come to dominate the world.
