Revival.
520 "This book argues that nativism, the hostility especially
to Catholic immigrants that led to the organization of
political parties like the Know-Nothings, affected the
meaning of nineteenthcentury American art in ways that
have gone unrecognized. In an era of industrialization,
nativism's erection of barriers to immigration appealed to
artisans, a category that included most male artists at
some stage in their careers. But as importantly, its
patriotic message about the nature of the American
republic also overlapped with widely shared convictions
about the necessity of democratic reform. Movements
directed toward improving the human condition, including
anti-slavery and temperance, often consigned Catholicism,
along with monarchies and slavery, to a repressive past,
not the republican American future. To demonstrate the
impact of this political effort by humanitarian reformers
and nativists to define a Protestant character for the
country, this book tracks the work and practice of artist
William Walcutt. Though he is little known today, in his
own time his efforts as a painter, illustrator and
sculptor were acclaimed as masterly, and his art is worth
reconsidering in its own right. But this book examines him
as a case study of an artist whose economic and personal
ties to artisanal print culture and cultural nationalists
ensured that he was surrounded by and contributed to anti-
Catholic publications and organizations. Walcutt was not
anti immigrant himself, nor a member of a nativist party,
but his kin, friends, and patrons publicly expressed
warnings about Catholic and foreign political influence.
And that has implications for better-known nineteenth-
century historical and narrative art. Precisely because
Walcutt's profile and milieu were so typical for artists
in this period, this book is able to demonstrate how
central this supposedly fringe movement was to viewers and
makers of American art"--|cProvided by publisher
