Overview

What does it mean to be an American artist? Making American Artists: Stories from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1776–1976 probes what it meant to be an American artist when the first art school and museum in the United States was founded and what it meant to be one by the late twentieth century, traversing two hundred years of creativity and change through over 100 significant works. Leading scholars explore rarely studied histories in essays that contribute to an expanded picture of the nation and its artistic heritage. About the Editor Anna O. Marley is Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
