About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2006 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Small Quarto. Small Quarto. xii (ii), 290 pp, illus. First Edition, 2006. Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. No markings, binding tight, clean, white and bright. 8.25" x 9.5". Brown half-cloth with orangish-red paper-covered boards, and gilt lettering to spine. Illustrated dj in acetate protector. "The author traces the resonances that these "primitive" images struck in an America awkwardly adjusting to a new era of technology, suburbia, and Cold War tensions. Between the cultural ephemera, folklore, song, and history embedded in Moses' paintings and the potent advertising shorthand for Americana that her images rapidly became, this book reveals a mythic, intimate American past tapped by the phenomenon -- in art and commerce alike -- of Grandma Moses.".
