About This Book
The author offers a critical survey of the fine arts displayed at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, combining an introductory historical overview and reflections on the function of art with sectional reviews of national galleries and the American exhibits. Individual rooms and single-artist presentations receive close readings, with assessments of paintings, sculpture, and the graphic and decorative arts, and occasional technical observations about display and medium. The volume closes with a conclusion, bibliography, and practical indexes for students and curious visitors.
