Produktbeschreibung
Voyages of the Self in America completes Novak's trilogy on American art and culture. Novak shows through reading paintings and texts from the same period against each other, how the meaning of self has influenced and changed through American identity and culture from the late 18th through the 20th century. Novak draws a variety of new and insightful parallels between pairs such as John Singleton Copley and Jonathan Edwards, Fitz Hugh Lane and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Winslow Homer and William James, Frederic Edwin Church and Walt Whitman, Albert Ryder and Emily Dickinson, and Jackson Pollock and Charles Olson. Two of the basic threads that connect the work of all the artists are the American preoccupation with the "object" or "thing" and the continuing return to pragmatism, differentiating the American from the European traditions.
