Graphic Arts & the South: Proceedings of the 1990 North American Print Conference (Review)

by Leo Mazow
Southern Cultures, Vol. 1, No. 2: Winter 1995

University of Arkansas Press, 1993.

Graphic Arts & the South is an important addition to a sorely neglected field of study. Substituting the breadth of a monograph with the critical focus of nine illuminating, if uneven, essays, this collection showcases the work of leading scholars in art history and American cultural history. Graphic Arts & the South may well be the first text to probe in depth the role of printmakers, publishers, writers, and photographers in the social production of a southern iconography.
