Work also has been valued as the key element in the philosophy of self-improvement and social mobility that undergird the American value system. Yet work can also be something imposed upon people: it can be exploitative, painful, and hard. This duality is etched into the faces of the people depicted in the portraits showcased in The Sweat of Their Face: Portraying American Workers. This companion volume to an exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery examines working-class subjects as they appear in artworks by artists including Winslow Homer, Elizabeth Catlett, Danny Lyon, and Shauna Frischkorn. This richly illlustrated book charts the rise and fall of labor from the empowered artisan of the eighteenth century through industrialization and the current American business climate, in which industrial jobs have all but disappeared. It also traces the history of work itself through its impact on the men and women whose laboring bodies are depicted. The Sweat of Their Face is a powerful visual exploration of the inextricable ties between American labor and society." $c --Amazon. 650 0 $a Working class in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Working class $z United States $v Exhibitions. $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, American $x Themes, motives $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a ART / Collections, Catalogs, Exhibitions / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Subjects & Themes / Portraits. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art, American $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815923 650 7 $a Working class. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180418 650 7 $a Working class in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180555 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 12 $a Ward, David C., $d 1952- $t Face of labor. 700 12 $a Moss, Dorothy. $t Worker in the art museum. 700 12 $a Fagg, John, $d 1977- $t Unit and gross. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=738C1A62580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
