Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This handsome volume by the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and his son complements the recent PBS series of the same name. In relating the lives of the artists of the American West, the social and cultural climate during which they worked, and their individual thoughts and feelings, the authors reveal the fascinating dynamic which exists between artist and subject. From the early 1800s to the present, they recount the lives of both major and minor artists in an entertaining style. Strict aesthetic judgments are kept to a minimum; the focus is on how these men and women influenced and were influenced by the times in which they lived, continually shaping and defining the public's perception of the American West. For general collections. Frank Schroth, Technology Training Assocs., Cambridge, Mass.

Der Autor über sein Buch
The art of the West is a cultural mirror
The West of the Imagination traces the visual evolution of the myth of the American West, from the West as unknown frontier to the West as the long-lost repository of rugged American values. Through our copiously illustrated narrative, you will see the visual re-interpretation of the West and its peoples by European-American as well as Native American artists. Interpreting the West is an on- going cultural process that continues to the present. The art of the American West is a cultural mirror of American aspirations, fears, sins, passions, values and prejudices. Read about them all in The West of the Imagination. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

The second edition of a landmark publication on western American art
10. April 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The second edition of a landmark publication on western American art has been thoroughly revised to expand on the original, packing in nearly five hundred images in color and black and white, including over 150 new ones. Using these illustrations the authors discuss the changing myth of the West, from values to art, using art as a medium for discussing the West's evolving image. It will appeal not just to art history holdings at the college level, but to any collection strong in American history and Western history in particular.

Excellent Book
2. März 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I first read this book as a student in Dr. Goetzmann's undergraduate class at the University of Texas at Austin. Although not an Art History major, this is the best course I have ever taken. The book is an excellent compilation of the influence of History/Culture on the Art of the American West. There is also a PBS series which accompanies this book. I highly recommend both. I keep this book on my coffee table, and enjoy reading it regularly.

The role of artists in mythologizing the West
15. August 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
As of this writing (Aug. 2002) this fine book is out of print, and shouldn't be. It is an informative and well illustrated survey covering almost 200 years of pictorial representations of the American frontier.
Because of my interest in the mythology that developed around the cowboy, I found the chapters on Frederic Remington, Charley Russell, and Buffalo Bill Cody especially absorbing. Magazine illustrators who further developed imagery of the "wild west" are represented here in discussions of N. C. Wyeth and Maynard Dixon.
On a parallel track, the authors give a chapter to the early silent Westerns, highlighting the careers and contributions of Tom Mix and William S. Hart (a precursor of Clint Eastwood). Another chapter is devoted to the Hollywood Western during the sound era noting similarities between Remington's imagery and that of director John Ford. There's also a discussion of the evolution of western movie themes from "The Virginian" (1929) to "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" (1969).
This book is a rewarding study of the American West as its visual artists inspired the imaginations of people around the world. Definitely worth having.
