Description

"How can sound invoke a collective memory or community? What does progress sound like? What does power sound like? How should painting relate to the masses? Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing considered these questions and took on the burden of picturing sound in the mute medium of painting with substantial urgency. This book considers the aural dimension of their pictures--both in terms of the sounds that they depict and the sounds occurring in front of them--as ideological products of period class, gender, cultural, racial, and technological discourses, and transports these overlooked sensorial conditions into the discipline of art history"--Provided by publisher.
