Rediscovering West Virginia's Art and Artists
The latest book by the West Virginia University
Press demonstrates graphically that there is much more to West Virginia
culture
than its wonderful folk art and mountaineer lore. Early Art
and Artists in
West Virginia, by John A. Cuthbert, Ph.D., is a study of the
visual-arts
side of the state's cultural heritage from the 19th century through the
mid-20th
century. "Everything that
has happened in American
art through the years has also happened in West Virginia," says Patrick
Conner, the director of the WVU Press. "This new book is important in
helping West Virginia break down the myths about its culture and
image."
