Product Overview
Hagerty (scholar and consultant on the art and culture of the American West) shows how Smith depicts the rural American lifestyle that is slowly being displaced by urban development. Through text and color reproductions, he discusses the artist's life and work while reflecting on how Smith's art transforms through powerful symbolism the agrarian way of life that is being viewed with increasing nostalgia.
