Art For America is a book written by William Ordway Partridge and published in 1894. The book is a collection of essays that explore the role of art in American culture and society. Partridge, who was a prominent American sculptor and art educator, argues that art has the power to shape and define American identity and values. He discusses the importance of public art and the need for artists to create works that reflect the diversity and complexity of American life. Partridge also critiques the commercialization of art and the tendency for artists to prioritize profit over artistic expression. Throughout the book, Partridge emphasizes the importance of art as a means of social and cultural transformation, and as a way to inspire and uplift the American people. Art For America is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the role of art in American society, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the value and purpose of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
