📗 Libro en inglés MODERN ART IN AMERICA 1908-68

''As art in the US gained international attention after 1945, earlier American art was cast off by critics and curators as a kind of demented uncle, in favour of establishing a more elevated pedigree, a celebrated cast of exalted European artists – but more was owed to American art prior to 1945 than anybody understood, or cared to admit ... The primary aim in this book is to develop a sense of integration of all facets of American art, and to stress the continuities and connections within it during these years, all but overlooked until now. For the first time, essential aspects of the history of modernism in America, usually treated piecemeal, and seldom if ever connected, will be thoroughly integrated.''
