At the center of this fundamental reevaluation of who could be an artist in America were John Kane, Horace Pippin, and Anna Mary Robertson Grandma Moses. The stories of these three artists not only intertwine with the major critical debates of their period but also prefigure the call for inclusion in representations of American art today. In Gatecrashers, Katherine Jentleson offers a valuable corrective to the history of twentieth-century art by expanding narratives of interwar American modernism and providing an origin story for contemporary fascination with self-taught artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eGatecrashers\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution and corrective to our understanding of the history of American art in the crucial decades before and after the Second World War.\" * Burlington Magazine *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eGatecrashers\u003c\/i\u003e successfully destabilizes received binaries, giving us crucial new insights into familiar 'representatives' of the self-taught moniker, which in turn complicate that status.\" * caa.reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ONE Modern Primitives and National Identity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e TWO “The Most Truly American”\u003cbr\u003e John Kane’s Naturalized Appeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e THREE Both New Negro and American\u003cbr\u003e Horace Pippin’s Crossover Appeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FOUR Goodwill Grandma\u003cbr\u003e Anna Mary Robertson Moses’s Cold War Appeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FIVE Expanding the Matrix of American Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402917454167,"sku":"9780520303423","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520303423.jpg?v=1730481841","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gatecrashers-9780520303423","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
