NOTE TO THE READER

For all objects, the principal medium is given first, followed by other media in order of importance.

Dimensions are given in both inches and centimeters. For paintings and prints, height precedes width; sheet dimensions are given for prints. For most three-dimensional decorative objects such as furniture, height precedes width precedes depth. For decorative objects such as cups and bowls, height precedes diameter precedes weight. For medals, weight is given in grams, axis in clock hours, and diameter in millimeters. If an object is shaped irregularly, maximum measurements are given.

The abbreviation “YUAG Object Files” indicates the collection research files at the Yale University Art Gallery.

The American experience—from its colonial beginnings to the modern age—has captured the imagination of all Americans, including its artists. This book explores works from the renowned collections of American paintings, decorative arts, prints, and photographs at the Yale University Art Gallery and creates a vivid portrait of a young country defining itself culturally, politically, and geographically.

Distinguished scholars shed new light on American history by examining some of the most familiar and revered objects in American art—paintings by Trumbull, Peale, Copley, Eakins, Church, and Homer; silver by Revere and Tiffany; furniture by Roux and Connelly; and photographs by Muybridge, among others. The authors discuss how issues of cultural heritage, patriotism, politics, and exploration shaped America’s art as well as its attitudes and traditions.
