From Library Journal
Similar in scope and execution to Donna Gustafson's recently published Images from the World Between: The Circus in 20th Century American Art, this lovely exhibition catalog of the eponymous art exhibition, curated by McDonnell of the University of Minnesota's Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, critically explores the influence of popular entertainment on American visual art from 1890 to 1930. The book is adorned with 95 color plates and 47 black-and-white illustrations, but unlike Images from the World Between, it is the text that steals the show. Among the ten essays explicating the wonder and pervasive influence of vaudeville, film, theater, and burlesque on American artists are contributions from noted academics Rebecca Zurier, Robert Silberman, and David Nashaw, who offers a particularly illuminating piece on the importance of electric lights. Other essays explore the work of specific artists like Charles Demuth, Edward Hopper, Everett Shinn, and John Sloan to reveal the nascent fascination and obsession with emerging forms of mass popular entertainment. A fine scholarly study best suited for academic and specialized collections. Barry X. Miller, Austin P.L., TX
