- Notes:
- "The story of eighteenth-century art from the Americas has traditionally emphasized themes of exceptionalism and independence, but the reality is a far more nuanced narrative of encounter and inter-dependence across North, Central, and South America as well as the Caribbean. Drawn from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the iconic paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and textiles featured in this volume illustrate cultures in conversation and conflict with one another through the exchange of ideas, materials, styles, and techniques." --Publisher
