520 "Although there are distinctly American artists-Walt
Whitman, Herman Melville, Grandma Moses, Thomas Hart
Benton, and Andy Warhol, for example-very little attention
has been devoted to formulating any distinctively American
characteristics of aesthetic judgment and practice. This
volume takes a step in this direction, presenting an
introductory essay on the possibility of such a distinctly
American tradition, and a collection of essays exploring
particular examples from a variety of angles. Some of the
essays in this collection extend pragmatist and process
insights about the important place aesthetics has in
molding and assessing experience. Other essays examine the
place of American aesthetics in relation to such
particular forms of art as painting, literature, music,
and film. Three essays attend to the aesthetic aspects of
a flourishing life. In each of the essays, American
aesthetics is understood to arise out of deeply felt
personal, historical, and cultural backgrounds.
Consequently, not only are such relatively abstract
notions as harmony, fit, elegance, proportion, and the
like involved in aesthetic judgment, but also religious,
political, and social factors become embroiled in
aesthetic discernment. Thus the ongoing pattern of
American aesthetics is shown to be distinguishable from
such other varieties of aesthetic thought as analytic
aesthetics, New Criticism, and postmodern approaches to
aesthetics"--|cProvided by publisher.
