As the century draws to a close, America has become recognized as one of the most, if not the most, powerful artistic and cultural forces in the world. Why and how this came about, and the astonishing parade of artistic achievement that resulted, is the subject of this extraordinarily rich volume.The American Century is the subject of a yearlong exhibition at the Whitney Museum the most comprehensive display of twentiethcentury American art ever assembled, incorporating a wide range of masterpieces from all sections of the country, by both familiar and lesserknown artists. This volume, covering the first half of the century, is a history of American art as well as a permanent record of the Whitney show. Here fine arts achievements are seen as part of the larger culture that helped shape them the art forms of film, dance, music, literature, photography, decorative arts, architecture, fashion, and industrial design. All are described and set in the context of political and social currents of the era in Barbara Haskell's rich and informative text. Essays by noted experts in many fields illuminate developments in different areas of artistic endeavor while over 750 fullcolor and duotone illustrations give visual testimony to America's dominant role in the arts. over 750 fullcolor and duotone illustrations
