{"product_id":"the-cultured-canvas-nancy-siegel-9781611681987","title":"The Cultured Canvas: New Perspectives on American Landscape Painting","description":"Written from aesthetic, sociopolitical, cultural, and literary perspectives, The Cultured Canvas explores myriad ways in which American visual culture can be evaluated through newly conceived thematic and ideological approaches. This book moves beyond our accepted notion of the oil painting on canvas to consider the term as both a literal and figurative surface upon which artists construct or construe the landscape as an intellectual, cultural, or physical entity. It provides an innovative reevaluation of traditional thought concerning the Hudson River School, Luminism, and artists of the Civil War era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs interdisciplinary emphases are employed with increasing frequency in arts and humanities courses, the breadth and depth of topics covered in this collection will provide a much-needed text for scholars in American art history, nineteenth-century American studies, and landscape studies, in addition to serving as a complement to courses in American literature and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover is un-jacketed.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Siegel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611681987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611681987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Hampshire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012","brand":"Nancy Siegel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056469700863,"sku":"9781611681987","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80461ae2-129d-4ba4-9e1a-880c8ce5b89a.jpg?v=1685041488","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cultured-canvas-nancy-siegel-9781611681987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
