A landmark collection of essays on the intersections of visual art, cultural studies, and environmental history in America.
A Keener Perception offers a series of case studies on topics ranging from John White’s watercolors of the Carolina landscape executed during Sir Walter Raleigh’s 1585 Roanoke expedition to photographs by environmental activist Eliot Porter. Rather than merely resurrect past instances of ecologically attuned art, this volume features essays that resituate many canonical figures, such as Thomas Eakins, Aaron Douglas, and Isamu Noguchi, in an ecocritical light by which they have yet to be viewed. Studying such artists and artworks through an ecocritical lens not only provides a better understanding of these works and the American landscape, but also brings a new interpretive paradigm to the field of art history—a field that many of these critics believe would do well to embrace environmental concerns as a vital area of research.
In highlighting the work of scholars who bring ecological agendas to their study of American art, as well as providing models for literary scholars who might like to better incorporate the visual arts into their own scholarship andteaching, A Keener Perception is truly a landmark collection—timely, consequential, and controversial.
Alan C. Braddock is Assistant Professor of Art History at Temple University where he teaches courses on American art from the Colonial era to the present. He is also the author of Thomas Eakins and the Cultures of Modernity.
