Imaging American Women: Idea and Ideals in Cultural History
Traces the development of the portraits of women in American art, literature, and popular culture from the 1870s to the end of World War I. Banta clarifies semiotics with examples, explains the conventions that make it possible to "read" a painting, and uses a wide range of sources: Christy and Gibson illustrations, society portraits, advertisements, posters, drawing texts, gravestones, family photographs. Less driven by its thesis than Bram Dijkstra's Idols of Perversity: fantasies of feminine evil in fin-de-siecle culture (Oxford, 1986), this is a splendid complement. Both reveal the rewards of using art to explore cultural values.
