Reviews

“Schulman makes a compelling argument that Civil War genre paintings absorbed, reflected, and shaped broader concerns around gender, race, and disability. Art during Wartime is a brilliant addition to the scholarship on painting in nineteenth-century America.”—Jochen Wierich, author of Grand Themes: Emanuel Leutze, Washington Crossing the Delaware, and American History Painting “Few scholars of American art have tackled artistic representations of the Civil War, and Schulman is impressively thorough in surveying the field. Art during Wartime is an essential contribution to American art history.”—Patricia Johnston, editor of Seeing High and Low: Representing Social Conflict in American Visual Culture
