Summary note

"American art of the 20th-21st centuries charts the evolution of American art from the 1890s through today. Guided by three main themes, modernism, migration, and mobility, the text highlights the production, dissemination, and consumption of modern and contemporary American art in various settings. Erika Doss explores a wide range of media within cultural, economic, political, social, and theoretical contexts and considers the varied styles, cultures, identities, and geographies that constitute American art in order to add definition to the broader concept of 'America'"--Publisher's website.
