- Abstract (en)
- Book intended as a social history about culture, which uses paintings, drawings and prints as its primary documentary evidence to learn about that culture--in this case, to learn something about the way popular religion in America influenced how artists chose to paint America and what they felt about what they painted. Argues that popular religion provided fertile material from which artists selected dramatic and colorful episodes or personalities, and that they painted or drew these people and events in an effort not solely to ridicule but also to understand and react to powerful religious forces.
