The art and culture of Spain significantly influenced many of
America's most renowned 19th- and 20th-century artists. Mary
Cassatt visited the country early in her career and first garnered
the attention of the French Impressionists with her paintings of
Spanish themes. William Merritt Chase, fascinated with Spanish art,
traveled to Madrid and its environs to paint landscapes and study
at the Prado. And Robert Henri not only drew on the country's
culture and traditions as a personal muse but repeatedly brought
his art students to Spain as part of their training. Featuring
works by all of these artists, as well as others such as John
Singer Sargent and Thomas Eakins, this handsome volume reveals the
important and varied ways that Spain inspired a century of American
artists. Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Chrysler
Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule: Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk,

The Prado takes an unconventional look at Spain's most iconic art
museum. Focusing on the Prado as a space of urban leisure, Eugenia
Afinoguenova highlights the political history of the museum's
relation to the monarchy, the church, and the liberal nation-state,
as well as its role as an extension of Madrid's social center, the
Prado Promenade. Rather than assume that visitors agreed about how
to interpret the museum, Afinoguenova approaches the history of the
Prado as a debate about culture and leisure. Just like those
crossing the museum's threshold, who did not always trace a firm
line between what they could see or do inside the building and
outside on the Paseo del Prado, the participants in this
debate-journalists, politicians, museum directors, art
critics-considered museum-going to be part of a broader discussion
concerning citizenship and voting rights, the rise of Madrid to the
status of a modern capital, and the growing gap between town and
country. Based on extensive archival research on the museum's
displays and policies as well as the attitudes of visitors and
city-dwellers, The Prado unfolds the museum's many political and
propagandistic roles and examines its complicated history as a
monument to the tension between culture and leisure. Art historians
and scholars of museum studies and visual and leisure culture will
find this foundational study of the Prado invaluable.
Spain Is (Still) Different addresses both theoretical perspectives
on the study of tourism in Spain and specific cases of the cultural
impact of travel and tourism on Spanish culture in the late
eighteenth to early twenty-first centuries. With contributions from
experts in leisure and culture studies, literature, film, and art
historians from Spain, the UK, and the U.S., this innovative
multi-disciplinary volume introduces readers to methodological and
practical issues concerning the cultural function of tourism in
Spain. The main body of contributions comes from the area of
cultural studies. In the introduction, Afinoguenova and
Marti-Olivella provide a comprehensive overview of the problematic
of tourism in Spain and of diverse approaches to the study of
tourism in its relation to Spanish culture. Unlike other
collections on tourism studies, this book is aimed to bridge the
gap between the social sciences and the humanities. It is
structured to provide an example of how experts in different fields
can use each other's work in order to achieve a multi-faceted
understanding of the phenomenon of tourism and its implications."
