"Most people outside of the art world view art as something that is foreign to their experiences and everyday lives. A People’s Art Historyof the United States places
art history squarely in the rough-and-tumble of politics, social
struggles, and the fight for justice from the colonial era through the
present day.
Author and radical artist Nicolas Lampert
combines historical sweep with detailed examinations of individual
artists and works in a politically charged narrative that spans the
conquest of the Americas, the American Revolution, slavery and
abolition, western expansion, the suffragette movement and feminism,
civil rights movements, environmental movements, LGBT movements,
antiglobalization movements, contemporary antiwar movements, and beyond.
A People’s Art History of the United States
introduces us to key works of American radical art alongside dramatic
retellings of the histories that inspired them. Stylishly illustrated
with over two hundred images, this book is nothing less than an
alternative education for anyone interested in the powerful role that
art plays in our society."
