- More about Trouble in Paradise: Twenty-Four Essays on the Social History of American Art
A collection of engaging and highly readable essays from a leading historian of American Social Art.
In these essay, spanning from 1977 to 2023, Alan Wallach explores the art of Thomas Cole, patronage of the Hudson River School, so-called “Luminism,” the rise of the American art museum, the historiography of American art, scholarship and the art market, as well as the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Rockwell Kent, Grant Wood, Philip Evergood, and Norman Rockwell. Throughout, Wallach employs a materialist approach to argue against traditional scholarship that considered American art and art institutions in isolation from their social, historical, and ideological contexts.
