Foreword by Richard J. Powell
On July 18, 1863, six months after President Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation, one of the first American units
composed of African Americans stormed Fort Wagner in South
Carolina, led by Colonel Robert Shaw Gould. Although the
regiment suffered great losses, the Massachusetts 54th Volunteer
Infantry legitimised the idea of blacks serving in the military, and
Lincoln considered their sacrifice a turning point in the Civil
War. Twenty years later, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens began
work on a bronze memorial for this heroic troop, which was
installed on the Boston Common in 1897. Tell It With Pride
explores the enduring significance of this beloved monument.

Art and Appetite
American Painting, Culture,
and Cuisine
Edited by Judith A. Barter
With essays by Judith A. Barter,
Annelise K. Madsen, Sarah Kelly
Oehler, Ellen E. Roberts
and Nancy Siegel
Art and Appetite takes a fascinating
new look at depictions of food in
American art, demonstrating that the artists’ representations of
edibles offer thoughtful reflection on the cultural, political,
economic and social moments in which they were created. Using
food as an emblem, artists were able to both celebrate and critique
their society, expressing ideas relating to politics, race, class, gender
and commerce. Focusing on the late 18th century through the
Pop artists of the 20th century, this book investigates meanings
and interpretations of eating in America and features still life,
trompe l’oeil painting, sculpture and other works, by artists such
as William Merritt Chase, John Singleton Copley, Elizabeth
Paxton, Norman Bel Geddes, Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, Alice
Neel, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein and many more.
