Overview
Overview
After World War I, artists without formal training "crashed the gates" of major museums in the United States, democratizing the art world across lines of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender. At the heart of this fundamental reevaluation of who could be an artist in America were John Kane, Horace Pippin, and Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses. In Gatecrashers, the stories of these three artists not only intertwine with the major critical debates and paradigm shifts of their period but also presage the call for diversity in representations of American art that is among the most powerful forces shaping the field today. Katherine Jentleson offers a valuable corrective to the history of twentieth-century art by expanding narratives of interwar American modernism and providing an origin story for contemporary fascination with self-taught artists.
