This is the first comprehensive examination of American art at the centennial, it explains the critical role of visual culture in negotiating memories of the nation's past that conflicted with the optimism that exhibition officials promoted. Supporting novel iconographical interpretations with myriad primary source material, author Susanna W. Gold demonstrates how the art galleries and the audiences who visited them addressed the lingering traumas of battle, the uneasy re-unification of North and South, and the persisting racial tensions in the post-Emancipation era. This careful consideration of the visual record exposes the complexities of the war's impact on Americans and clarifies how the Centennial art exhibition affected a nation still finding its direction at a critical moment in its history. 611 20 $a Centennial Exhibition $d (1876 : $c Philadelphia, Pa.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50057204 611 27 $a Centennial Exhibition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01405197 611 27 $a Reconstruction (United States : 1865-1877) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754987 650 0 $a Art and history $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Nationalism and art $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Art, American $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85111862 650 7 $a Art, American $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815923 650 7 $a Art and history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815396 650 7 $a Nationalism and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033874 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105041547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3530049CF1E711E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
