Abstract (en)
Lubin examines the work of six 19th c. American artists to show how their paintings at once embraced and, paradoxically, resisted dominant social values. Insisting on the complexity of 19th c. culture, Lubin provides multiple interpretations of individual paintings by John Vanderlyn, George Caleb Bingham, Robert S. Duncanson, Lilly Martin Spencer, Seymour Guy and William Harnett. His analyses take into account the nation's ambivalence toward domesticity, its conflicting ideas about child rearing, its racial disharmony, territorial expansion, and many other issues central to the formation of modern America. Lubin argues that the paintings speak today in contradictory voices because such was the nature of the societies that produced and received them.
