Writing with both authority and wit that has distinguished Robert Hughes` art criticism for Time magazine, in American Visions he addresses art with a wider lens on the history of art in America. The intense relationship between the American people and their surroundings has been the source of a rich artistic tradition. American Visions is a consistently revealing demonstration of the many ways in which artists have expressed this pervasive connection. In nine chapters that span a range of events, movements and personalities during more than three centuries, Hughes shows us the myriad associations between the community that is America and the art it has produced. Lavishly illustrated and packed with biographies, anecdotes, astute and stimulating critical commentary, and sharp social history, American Visions is published in association with a new eight-part PBS television series.
