American Art Journal: American Art
A journal of the nation's visual heritage
Since its founding in 1987, American Art has been an indispensable resource for scholars, collectors, and museum-goers who want to enrich their understanding of the nation's art and culture. American Art encompasses all aspects of the country's visual heritage from colonial to contemporary times. Elegant color plates give the journal a distinctive appearance, and the articles are written in an engaging style.
Articles planned in the coming months include the following:
- Encuentros: Artistic Exchange between the United States and Latin America, a collection of short essays from the 2011 symposium, with an introduction by Chon Noriega and contributions by E. Carmen Ramos, Deborah Cullen, Valerie Fraser, Ana Franco, and Laura Roulet
- Better for Haunts: Victorian Houses and the Modern Imagination by Sarah Burns
- The Doctor Is In: John Singer Sargent's Dr. Pozzi at Home, by Juliet Bellow
- Civic Primer: Mural Painting's New Education at the Library of Congress, by Annelise K. Madsen
- An Appreciation of June Wayne, by Ruth Weisberg
