This book examines the work of three artists of the first American landscape tradition -- Washington Alston, Thomas Cole, and Frederic Edwin Church -- and two clergymen -- Horace Bushnell and Henry Ward Beecher. It assesses their understanding of the artist as a social and moral teacher, the didactic role of art in society more generally, and a God who acts in history. The author finds that the art of Allston, Cole, and Church expressed and served the dominant middle-class religious ideology of the time -- Christian Romanticism. This distinguishes their work from more elitist and regional work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Apostolos-Cappadona\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155540975X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555409753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.44w x 0.60d","brand":"Diane Apostolos-Cappadona","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124862546175,"sku":"9781555409753","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e53dd976-3eab-4057-a5bc-20ca5fcb3553.jpg?v=1687439257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-and-the-vision-diane-apostolos-cappadona-9781555409753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
