Overview

With its sweeping continental perspective, Frances Pohl's Framing America has long been hailed as the most progressive introduction to the history of American art, from prehistory to the present. The Fifth Edition builds on that reputation, increasing the diversity of artists and other Americans represented, and foregrounding the role Native Americans, African Americans, and immigrants from around the world have played both in producing and inspiring American art.
