The Art Spirit
A classic collection of writing from a great American painter and teacher on modern art theory, technique, and appreciation. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Robert Henri pioneered a more visceral approach to painting, finding his subjects in everyday urban experiences. From his studio in Philadelphia, he inspired fellow painters to capture the dismal aspects of city life, sparking a movement that came to be known as the Ashcan School. In The Art Spirit, Henri shares his technical expertise as well as his philosophy of art and his vision for its place in modern American society.

During the Cold War, when the United States believed that it was locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Soviet Union for the hearts and minds of people throughout the world, culture became another weapon in the battle against communism. Part of that effort in cultural diplomacy included a program to arrange the exhibition of hundreds of American paintings overseas. Michael L. Krenn studies the successes, failures, contradictions, and controversies that arose when the U.S. government and the American art establishment sought to work together to make an international art program a reality between the 1940s and the 1970s.
