Description
167 p. : chiefly ill.; 32 cm.
Summary
Examines the works of 32 artists represented in the Johnson Collection to explore the historical, social and cultural forces that influenced their aesthetic sensibilities and to deliniate the core concepts of the romantic movement in the South: the heroic individual, an idealized chivalric code of personal honor, the sublime quality of nature, and the inevitability of change in an imperfect world.
