- Summary:
- In many, California's social and cultural identity has set it apart from the rest of the nation. Identified almost exclusively with Hollywood and popular culture, the state has been denied a meaningful relationship to mainstream modernism. This ground-breaking collection emphatically challenges that assumption. In essays about California art during the first half of the century, the contributors evoke a culture, now recognizable as modernist, that reflects the actual circumstances of West Coast artistic experience in all its richness. The subjects include painting, murals, sculpture, film, photography, and architecture.
